موقف الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية من سياسة إيران النفطية (1973- 1976)‎

الملخص EN

The current study investigates the attitude of the United States of America towards Iran's oil policy since 1973, the year that marked the 6th October War and the subsequent Arab oil embargo against the United States as well as some other western countries that supported Israel.

Iran took advantage of the war and followed a policy of raising oil prices through OPEC meetings.

During the rule of President Richard Nixon, the United States did not take a serious stance towards this policy in order to strengthen the position of the global American economy in the face of the economies of European countries and Japan at that time.

Nevertheless, this position did not last much with the assumption of presidency of the United States by "Gerald Ford", as he was more assertive in the face of the policy of raising oil prices pursued by Iran.

This was evident during the OPEC meeting in December 1976 in Doha, where “Ford” strengthened his relations with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, given the fact that it is the most prominent member of OPEC, in order to exert pressure on Iran to change its policy of raising oil prices, and this is what actually happened after this meeting directly.
