185 Billion Reasons Why The US Agreed To Nuclear Deal With Iran

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Many have questioned just why President Obama was so keen to get the Iran nuclear deal done - apparently with almost no real concessions - in the face of allies home and abroad deriding the agreement. Well, if one were so inclined, OilPrice.com explains that Iran's deputy oil minister for commerce and international affairs, Hossein Zamaninia, told Reuters that the country has already identified 50 oil and gas projects it will offer for bids - with the government pegging the value of these properties at $185 billion...

Submitted by Dave Forest via OilPrice.com,

Important news last week -- from a place that's quickly becoming the world's focus for high-impact oil and gas projects.

 

That's Iran. Where government officials said they are on the verge of revolutionizing the country's petroleum sector. Which could provide big profit opportunities for foreign investors.

 

Iran's deputy oil minister for commerce and international affairs, Hossein Zamaninia, told Reuters that the country has already identified 50 oil and gas projects it will offer for bids. With the government pegging the value of these properties at $185 billion.

 

And officials are hoping to get these fields licensed out soon. With Zamaninia saying that the government plans to offer all of the blocks over the next five years.

 

Perhaps most importantly, Iranian officials say they have designed a new petroleum contract structure for international investors. Which they are calling the "integrated petroleum contract" or IPC.

 

Officials said that the IPCs will last for a term of 20 to 25 years. A substantial improvement over the older, shorter-term contracts -- which have been a major stumbling point for the world's oil and gas companies.

 

Few other details on the IPC structure have yet been provided. But the government noted that the new contracts will address "some of the deficiencies of the old buyback contract".

 

Deputy Minister Zamaninia said that full details on the new contracts will be announced within the next two to three months. Along with specifics on the fields being offered by the government for bids.

 

Of course, all of this is predicated on the lifting of Western sanctions against Iran -- which is still not a certainty. But if and when the country does open for investment, it appears there will be substantial prizes to won. Watch for further announcements on projects and fiscal terms over the next few months.

Billions of dollars for the firms that lobbyists represent can be one hell of a motivation to do a deal with the devil it seems...

Iran's energy supplies also devalue the energy exports from Russia. It's all part of Obama's full spectrum war against Putin.

It could also be that we've been banging our head against the wall with the Israelis and Arabs for 50 years, which is clearly not working. Time for a change. Anybody who wants to poo poo this deal should realize that what they really want is for us to continue bashing our head against the wall.

we've pretended to bang our head - what's happened is that the jews never intended to do anything but do what they are doing - continue the ethnic cleansing of Palestine begun 100 years ago - premised on the myth [for most] that today's Jews are a}direct descendents of ancient Israelite Canaanites and that b} ergo are entitled to land occupied by others 2,000 yers later [leaving aside that Jews happily lived all over the mediterranean for centuries before christ, at one point attempting to make Cyprus a Jewish state].

Are their mods and libs who would make a deal -s ure - but Jeiwsh fundamentalists and supremacists have the reins

Israel’s attack on Egypt in June ’67 was not ‘preemptive’
http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2010/07/04/israels-attack-on-egypt-i...

people don't appreciat e- when the jews 'declared' a state - they declared that there was a state on land that they a] didnt control, b] didnt have legal or moral right to and c] was occupied by Palestinians - around 750k of whom fled or were expelled

Most, nearly all of the fighting took place OUTSIDE what was to be the Jewish portion of the mandate of Palestine {post division from transjordan]

The arabs were DEFENDING Arab land from mostly european-born jews who intended to create an ethnarchy

Is there anything wrong with Jews debating with the Jewish-American Secretary of the Treasury about the merits of a treaty between the U.S. and Iran? Perhaps not, but it’s difficult to suppose that all those intense emotions have anything to do with the interests of the United States. Certainly such displays might cause some to wonder a bit about the age-old loyalty issue; probably best to avoid that one.

 Obama is not a Muslim, but he is an atheist with deep Muslim sympathies....who also despises America.  In the end, it's all about enabling our enemies and knocking the US down a few pegs.

"Russia and its oil are likely to be losers in Iran deal"

 

BULLHONKEY!

 

#1 - Putin has been actively pushing forward the Iran deal, knowing Iran's oil will quickly come online as a result.

 

#2 - Putin knows Iran is a crucial piece in the Eurasian Grand Alliance Russia-China are constructing.

 

#3 - Putin also knows Saudi Arabia is ripe for ushering into that new Alliance, where Iran's Persian Gulf ambitions can be throttled w/o a hot war.

 

#4 - Putin is more than willing to continue to endure short-term financial pain as this Alliance is given birth. It will pay medium-term gargantuan benefits as a true geopolitical counterweight to the U.S.

 

#5 - It's U.S. domestic oil production that is most at risk here - bankrupting that sector for decades is paramount to Russia, Saudi, Iran and all the other producers. Plus, geopolitically, the big consumers (China, India, et al) also want to see that U.S. sector bankrupted and the dollar's dominance undermined.

 

Conventional wisdom on this subject is dead wrong because it is far too shortsighted and narrowly focused on what fantasies the U.S. keeps hoping will come true.

Bingo.  If Obama and Kerry are leading the negotiations, you can be sure that the US will end up on the short end of the stick in any deal.  Putin's support for the deal just confirms that.  We ARE going to get cosmically fucked-in-the-ass, but just exactly how won't be apparent till Obama leaves office.

The only thing consistent about our fair gentle president is that every move he makes is against the US.  He and his handlers want to destroy the country so they can usher in a completely different system.  This evil is calculating and, what is most dangerous, patient.  It is happy to set laws, policies and agreements in place that may not seem too offending but the big picture isn't often seen until decades later.  I think it's safe to assume resistance to anything this evil attemtps to change in this country.

There are so many factions vying for power, many with ulterior motives, who are forming counter intuitive alliances based on "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" strategies. 

The whole shit show has become so convoluted that at this point we (the west) might as well air drop weapons to all inhabitants, then step back and watch the fireworks. 

Better yet, we could mind our own business, and take care of problems here on the home front. It seems like the linked picture is emblematic of world foreign policy.

It's easier to go to war with someone that you have a treaty with because breaking the treaty is a slam dunk justification.  No one cared what was really in the treaty as long as Iran agreed to the treaty because they know Iran will break it.

bass ackwards:

they inserted vague language and have the treaty so they can CLAIM, under color of law, that Iran broke it.

Essentially, they are attempting to criminalize Iran's ability to defend itself from unlawful anglo-Zionist attack... an attack which is using the nuke issue as a pretext.

And it is only a pretext.

Roadhazard is one that gets it. The entire premise of this piece makes no sense.  Obama is no friend of the oil industry and he has little or no interest in helping them to make money.  Most in that industry do not support Obama and many are outright hostile.  Remember Obama is all about helping his friends and destroying his foes.  There are reasons Obama supported the agreement but helping Western or Russian oil interests develop Iranian oil fields is not one of them.

Or maybe in three to five years when that huge frack ramp has run its couse and the US mean reverts to its production trend line the additional global supply coming online around that time will be sorely needed.

Don't forget one of the largest oil fields in the world is in Iran ... and it was discovered in the 80s. Saudis big field was discovered in the 40s.

If the game is going to continue, it has to have oil - and they can't print that.

its not mutually exclusive:

Obama [or his masters] could in theory calculate iran's oil will hurt russia - I can see Zbig and the anglo militarists, who want to target russia first and foremost rather than dick around with israel's neighbors for its lebensraum...

at the same time, Ivan could anticipate that any loss in oil profits would be more than made up for by other considerations.

I dont know, but the point is, Putin being for it for x, y, z, doesnt mean Obama cant be for it for A, B, C.

However, I think its something else:

I think they drafted this thing to be vague and ambiguous, will use some breach to justify an attack under color of law {iran has no nukes and isnt working on any - its a pretext} - a justification that doesnt need proof of nukes or working on nyukes, just... something like Iran being able to defend itself with certain anti-aircraft missiles will be used, or refusing to allow inspectors in to some military base [no country on EARTH allows unfettered access].

I also think the US needs substantial time to rearm and get its shit together, as does israel.

Iran can certainly return some fire.

Say what you will about the deal, but aside from all the noise, anything that avoids another war that kills a few thousand more Americans, a few hundred thousands innocent civilians, and racks up another 2-4 trillion in debt is a good thing.

Who knows, maybe those lobbyists not wanting to get their investments nationalized by the Iranian govt(which would happen in the event of a conflict) will exert more influence on whatever stooge occupies the White House than the regular neocon cheerleaders constantly looking for a new war.

There was no need for deal to made at all.  Iran's oil can sit in the ground un used and unsold, while the West continued to block trade with the Mullahs.  I think the Mullahs were loosing power over the prople slowly drip by drip.

 

No we have eliminated barriers to Iran going NUC, are dropping import and export sanctions against a regeme that calls for our destruction daily, and next we are going to give them billions of dollars for their oil so they can buy or develope weapons to use against us.

 

Without question, this is the stupidest course of action we could take for America.

So many logical fallacies there I don't know where to start. For one, what would be the motive to "buy or develop weapons to use against us" ? If the sanctions are lifted and they are participating in the world's economy by selling oil on the open market, it would be completely counter-productive to attack a country that could totally destroy the economy that lifting the sanctions enabled. But don't let logic or facts get in the way of pushing the Zionist/corporate agenda.

3. Finally, whoever writes about Russia on ZH does not read and/or understand Russian. Consequently, these people have no clue about the Russian reality since they don't have the first hand info about Russia.

If I understand the logic of this hack, Iran just "pulled one over everybody's eyes". Their evil plan is to integrate their economy with the US in order to give themselves the money and time to fulfill their obsession with nuking Israel. Have I got it right? Or is it simply accusing them of behaving like evil capitalists when they should be nationalizing their oil industry?

I don't know who the insane Twelvers are. Is it a comic book? I'll go along with this claim of insanity if their ultimate goal is to have their country nuked by Israel, France, the UK and the US. But bear in mind that they're surrounded by nearly 30 US military bases and their neighbours are, or recently have been being bombed and destroyed from within by the US, the UK, France and Israel. This could be a contributing factor to defensive posturing and their covert support for Syria, Lebanon and maybe Yemen.

How do you say "American frackers are dead, and several hundred thousand jobs will die." already identified 50 oil and gas projects it will offer for bids - with the government pegging the value of these properties at $185 billion...

It was not long ago that media was abuzz with the fracking miracle, energy independence, USA the new Saudi Arabia etc. etc.  What everyone failed to realize is all energy is not the same. Some is low cost to produce and transport, others are high cost, out at the margines of profitability. We know where Fracking stood on that scale. Not to mention Canadian Tar Mines, coming in at the top of production costs. Harper bet Canada's future on a total Tar Sands development policy. That investment is looking questionable. And I for one can find few if any new media coverage of North Dakota. Though they still produce in a deperate bid to keep meeting debt repayments. Their hedges are the only thing keeping companies alive at present.

Is there anything wrong with Jews debating with the Jewish-American Secretary of the Treasury about the merits of a treaty between the U.S. and Iran? Perhaps not, but it’s difficult to suppose that all those intense emotions have anything to do with the interests of the United States. Certainly such displays might cause some to wonder a bit about the age-old loyalty issue; probably best to avoid that one.

First off all the Israeli static on this matter is fake.

Israel WANTS the Iranian deal.

All these econ deals increases access to Iran, which relativizes the theocracy's econ monopoly and puts money into the pockets of the younger generation.

All of this also allows more Stuxnet attacks and better undermining of the Iranian nuke program.

Sure its hurt Russia too, but it also make energy even cheaper for China.

Militarily all they want is for the Persian to cross some Sunni trip-wire on ISIS, Jordan, Israel and the Saudis.

They have to get Egypt firmed allied against Persia.

And here are evidence about how Russian army is falling apart under putin regime:

putin regime is corrupt till it’s core and from all sides, but it is only way for criminal putin regime to stay at power. In result whole system is corrupt and not healthy at all.  Let’s look ar putin regime army – in what shape it is. Here are some articles that should help you understand and draw conclusion about putin regime army:

1.) Bombers, fighters, strike jets, fighter-bombers drops from the sky like flies. Just in 7 weeks putin regime had 7 crashes – and that is not during a war time, but during training.

“Since early June the air force has lost two Tu-95 “Bear” strategic bombers, two MiG-29 fighters, an older Su-24 strike jet, a newer Su-34 fighter-bomber, and most recently an Antonov An-12 military transport.”

2.) Missiles go wild during a Navy Day parade at occupied and illegally annexed Crimea, Sevastopol, putting in real life threat danger civilians who were watching parade

“..in the country on Sunday to celebrate Navy Day and the might of the Russian forces. Yet one rogue missile ruined the display: launched by the Russian frigate Ladny, the missile can be seen wildly spinning round and round before plummeting into the sea.”

https://youtu.be/q6m0hfkaGFg

3.) During a Victory parade rehearsal broke down so called “super tank” of putin regime that was supposed to threat NATO and it’s allies. In result – full embracement for putin regime:

“A new Russian tank touted by military analysts as a fearsome, ultra-advanced machine  broke down during Victory Day parade rehearsals in Moscow on Thursday, leaving puzzled engineers red-faced.

According to Russian newspaper Moskovskiy Komsomolets, the tank came to a full halt and appeared to be experiencing difficulties even though the engine was still running. Other tanks trundled past as army officers approached the crew of the T-14 to discuss the situation. A military towing vehicle was dispatched to salvage the tank, but was unable to pull it away.  ”

https://youtu.be/A-tghr4OTZg

4.) just when russian soldiers think they are safe because are not in one of those “super thanks” or fighter jets that drop from the sky or in one of those frigates which missiles goes wild, they got attacked at sleep… by a building where they are.

“Twenty-three Russian soldiers were crushed to death by rubble after their military barracks collapsed in Siberia, the Russian defence ministry said on Monday.

All four floors collapsed in one section of the building in the Siberian city of Omsk on Sunday evening as 42 Russian paratroopers were resting.

"All 42 soldiers who were under the rubble have been found. Twenty-three of them are dead," said defence ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov.”

5.) Russians who are not brainwashed by putin regime massive propaganda are not willing to fight for putin criminal plans and are leave unit fearing Ukraine deployment.

“Dozens of professional Russian soldiers are facing trial after abandoning a training base, according to media reports. The soldiers were allegedly pressured to "volunteer" for fighting in Ukraine. The troops were reportedly offered money and benefits from people in uniforms without insignia. The people then tried to motivate them to join the war in Ukraine, according to an article published Saturday on well-known news site Gazeta.ru.”

6.) Of course soldiers will more and more leave criminal putin regime, especially seeing how they are treated by putin regime when their captured by Ukraine army.

No honor from putin regime – no honor at all. No respect.

“Russia's Defense Ministry has formally disowned two soldiers captured in eastern Ukraine, saying the men had resigned from the army before crossing the border and their mission had "no connection" with Moscow's armed forces.

Colonel General Leonid Ivashov, head of the Russian think tank Academy of Geopolitical Problems, said that if the men were on active duty, Moscow should have done a better job standing behind them, Gazeta.ru reported.

"When we disown our soldiers, if they were indeed ours, that's not good," Ivashov was quoted as saying.

Instead, he suggested, the Defense Ministry "should have said that we are conducting intelligence operations, because there is a civil war going on and military action continues near Russia's borders," Gazeta.ru reported.”

7.) Again and again Russian soldiers “get lost” in Ukraine full of ammo and weapons:

“Ukrainian border guards detained a soldier suspected of being a Russian army officer who was picked up while riding in a military truck packed with ammunition at the Berezove checkpoint, about 28 miles southwest of the militant-held city of Donetsk.

Guards found nearly 200 cases containing grenades and ammunition, including rocket-propelled shells, inside the military truck.

 

"He (the Russian officer) had no documents. But he admitted that he was a chief of an RAO (rocket-artillery weapons unit). He is responsible for ammunition supply. He said that while delivering the ammunition they had got lost," Oleksandr Tomchyshyn, a border-guards spokesman said. Another man who was detained identified himself as a pro-Russian separatist fighter.”

“Ten Russian soldiers captured in eastern Ukraine crossed the border "by accident", Russian military sources are quoted as saying.

A Russian defence ministry source was quoted by the Russian news agency RIA Novosti as saying: "The soldiers really did participate in a patrol of a section of the Russian-Ukrainian border, crossed it by accident on an unmarked section, and as far as we understand showed no resistance to the armed forces of Ukraine when they were detained."”

So as you can see putin regime has no honor to Russians soldiers and because of huge corruption at all levels it’s army is falling apart.

Here is a bonus track for that – enjoy:

He hopes no one will notice the mishap on USS Sullivan. An SM-2 missile exploded on launch setting the deck ablaze.

Oh, shut up!  You're making everyone here nauseous.

Not ready to fly just yet, the US Air Force was forced to test its F-35A Lightning II fighter jet's 25 millimeter guns on the ground in a newreleaseby the US military.

The $391 billion dollar project, plagued by over three years of delays, is considered too unsafe to fly by US military's oversight body, and had to conduct the test on the ground. The test's goals included testing the gun door and operating mechanism, as the F-35A's gun is located inside the flight envelope designed to be invisible to radar, unlike the cannon in modification designed for the Navy and Marine Corps.
