Iran and OPEC make their voice heard, with the assistance of Castro, probably.

Yes. Isn't it nice Hugo Chavez gives Castro oil?...as in, no charge.

I suspect that Castro helps Chavez in return with training of "bolivarian" neighborhood commitees and goon squads and such "ideological" support. In turn for his assistance, Castro gets money or something from his new pal Iran. I bet the Iranians are stingier than the Soviets.
