Facing Economic Squeeze, Iran Plays Asian Energy Game

Posted by Matt in February 7th, 2007

Five years before the Islamic Revolution, Iran produced 6.1 million barrels of oil a day. By the end of 2006 the Iranian oil industry was only pumping 3.9 million barrels a day, 5 percent below its OPEC quota. Barely able to produce any oil for export or cope with escalating domestic demand, Iran’s energy industry has been sliding steadily toward crisis.

Yet Iran’s oil reserves are second only to Saudi Arabia’s, and its gas supply is eclipsed only by Russia’s. Having vast energy reserves and the technology to extract and refine them, however, are two different things. A mega-deal struck recently with China, and membership of a select Asian club, may yet help turn Iran’s ailing energy industry around — and without help from the West. The big question facing Iran now is which will kick in first: economic relief from a new era of energy mega-deals, or a waning of its regional influence born of increasing domestic economic failure? And then there is the wild card in the pack: the nuclear one.

Bush Lies About Iranian Nuclear Energy Program
Iran has persistently claimed it is not seeking nuclear weapons and that its nuclear energy program is for civilian use only. However, reminiscent to the false accusations running up the Iraq war, President Bush charges that Iran has "threatened other countries with nuclear weapons"—this is patently false.

Iran says Gulf oil route at risk if attacked
Iran says Gulf oil route at risk if attacked.. possible this could be the precursor to world war iii and possible causing oil price to go ballistic. "Regarding the main route for exiting energy, Iran will definitely act to impose control on the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz," Jafari said of the Gulf waterway through which about two-fifths of all globally traded oil passes. Jafari said U.S. forces were "more vulnerable than Israelis" because of their troops in the area. Iran's top authority, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has in the past said Iran would target U.S. interests if attacked. "Iran can in different ways harm American interests even far away," the Guards commander said. http://www.reuters.com/article/wtMostRead/idUSBLA82623620080628?sp=true

Another reality & historic event about Iranian Nuk Energy
You can see why US was interested in selling Nuk tach to Iran. US used to treat Shah of Iran as her Puppit. That's why they liked to sell nuk tech to get oil instead. British energy minister in 1975, says America asked britain to adopt American system in their nuclear power plant and also they were told if they do so Shah of Iran will buy their nuclear program. So he goes on trip to Tehran in 1976 and talks with shah about American nuclear program for 3 hours. And he adds the American purpose of such a suggestion was gaining the control of Iran and they are still trying to do so. He says if you are among the US allies you can even have nuclear bomb but if you are not, you are not even allowed to have peacful nuclear program.

Global Pulse - 10/10/08: The India Nuclear Deal: Bending the Rules
(October 10, 2008) While the worlds focus may be on the global financial meltdown, the U.S and India have signed a historic deal to trade nuclear energy. But, India has never signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty and has tested weapons in the past. So, why now is it okay to trade energy with India and not with a signatory country like Iran?
