Chavez: Iran attack to spark $200 oil

US is crazy enough to attack Iran or commit aggression against Venezuela… oil would not be $100, but $200," the Venezuelan President said in the opening statement of the third OPEC summit in Riyadh on Saturday.‏

"The underlying reason for any aggression is oil," He expounded.‏

President Chavez also urged the 12 state members of the OPEC to rise against the West`s pressure, demanding an increase in the organization`s oil output.‏

While Saudi Arabia is in favor of increasing OPEC oil output, Iran and Venezuela have voiced strong opposition to increasing the production.‏

The summit of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) opened Saturday in Saudi Arabia with the attendance of heads of states and delegates from 12 of the world`s biggest oil-producing nations.‏
