President Ahmadinejad said during a meeting in Isfahan that the high price of oil is artificial and the market is well supplied.
The rise in consumption is lower than the rise in production, but according to him "certain powers" are keeping an artificial oil price to finance their wars and occupations and to justify investments to exploit new sources of energy at the bottom of the oceans and the poles. Ahmadinejad's comments came a week ahead of a meeting of OPECcountries organised by Saudi Arabia to bring together major oil producers, including those outside OPEC, and consumers to discuss oil prices.
OPEC, which pumps some 40 percent of oil supplies is widely blamed for rise in prices since 2003, but insists the oil market is well supplied.
Ahmadinejad says that the fall in the dollar is one of the main causes and he suggests that OPECcountries change the dollar for a new currency.
