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

Ayatollah: "We think you are the Fifth Imam, who will bring destruction to the world and the Rise of Mohammed!"
U.S. companies were some of the first to go "global", and it isn't necessary for a U.S. company to use U.S. workers to perform work anywhere in the worlfd (including the USA ... ). So it's quite possible that US multinationals did pressure the Obama admin to complete the deal in an effort to move Iranian work forward. Sure, there's a cost to doing business in this manner, but if it doesn't directly affect you and your family then the cost is minimal (nationalism, outside of elections, is apparently dead). Yes, the Iranian theocracy is probably crazy enough to use nukes but not many billionaires live exclusively in an area that'll get nuked, so it's all good. Those who do live there are more likely to be part of the 6 billion that are no longer needed, so it's all even better.
I think we may be watching the ZBig plan going down in flames. Brzezinski said in the Grand Chessboard p. 55:
"Potentially the most dangerous scenario would be a grand coalition of China, Russia, and perhaps Iran, an antihegemoic coalition united not by idiology but by complementary grievances. It would be reminiscent in scale and scope of the challenge once posed by the Sino-Soviet bloc....... will require a display of U.S. geostrategic skill on the western, eastern, and southern perimeters of Eurasia simultaneously."
This was written in 97, "complementary grievances" have magnified greatly...lol
Iran will be a powerhouse with cash, oil, 80 million to work in factories ... something Israel shall try to not let happen....
If someone, ANYONE, would vapourize Israel tomorrow the USA would heave a huge sigh of relief and shake hands with everyone. It would be a HUGE win for the USA. World wide.
I think there is something like 51 million barrels of Iranian oil floating around... just waiting to come and flood the market.
USA is the AGGRESSOR.
Iraq was never a threat to the USSA. EVER.
Iran was never a threat to the USSA.
Of course if you sons of bitches think you OWN THE WORLD, then I guess you think its okay to bomb innocent people/
Frankly, you folks are not too bright because each passing day the USA is more and more hated.
You're confusing the American people with the Murican gubermit.
Read the comments of many average Americans. Parroting the bullshit fed them by their media.
They are the biggest haters on the planet and most of their HATE is based on lies.
Truly pathetic.
Um yeah....and your responses are all so sweet and pleasant...
Wait until he gets his version of Drone Tuesday up and running.
You need to brush up on your history, Mossadegh called Eisenhower baldy, and you damn well know we couldn't let that stand.
Retarded article, no projects are going at $50 a barrel. Lets say their extraction cost is $40, their margin at 50 is $10 a barrell, at $100 its $60 a barrel...... At $50 Iran with its large population is the most fucked of the oil exporters next to Brazil.....
The Ziocons in congress will not let this pass either.......
So its two strikes.
It may have more to do with gas, but your point would still apply.
Fine and Dandy if the deal was made with the American Citizens in mind but I have a suspicious feeling that the deal was made only with GoldinSacks, JPMoreGain, and ExCon Oil in mind.
The most depressing part of this $$$deal, is that the American public has been sent down yet another dead end trail, thinking it's all about an evil, terrrist nation and that we need to bomb them, and the election is about who's on board to bomb Iran and who isn't. An absolutely pathetic state of affairs.
For a so called free country Americans are the most ignorant people when it comes to real world affairs .
Fortunately we have you to enlighten us, and as an added benefit I've learned new ways to string insults together, that may be useful when talking to foreign guests, Thanks Man!
YW, man
Hey, you better watch your language! Americans won't have you calling our chief negotiator John Kerry ignorant ... ok, you got me on that one. But you better not call our former international chief negotiator Hillary Clinton ignorant ... okay, you can call us ignorant.
While that money definitely helps the decision, shifting geopolitics in the region are a major impetus:

"If you wanna look cool, stick your arm out of the window."
Brilliant. Topol M driver with arm outside window. I wonder what the sound system is playing?
The American mind has been molded to forget all about the Saudis, who are Donmeh jews appointed by the crown, invented Wahabbi, cut off peoples heads, are allies with isreal, finance ISIS, and now clamor for nuclear weapons.
They are allies of the masonic, Donmeh Turks, and other tin horn dictators of the area. They want a pipeline through Syria and have orders from the crown to get it one way or another.
“The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal.
“Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does.
They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness.
These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted.” -Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited
USA always supports pyschopaths like the Saudis and Israelis.
They trash decent people who use logic and reason.

Maybe the larger powers are at a draw and this is the partition of Iran in one sense.

give you time to come to your senses maybe
I think it's time that we all examine the possibility that the Israelis were never afraid of Iran, but that it was US foreign policy which pressured Israel to act the way it has.
In that way it would not look like the US was desperate for a war with Iran to get back the 'property' it lost in 1979. It gave the US and its European retarded dwarfs an excuse to put sanctions on Iran to weaken their economy and bring about regime change.
The hysterical Netanyahu was the perfect PM to act out the US demands.
Tyler, why don't you begin the discussion?

Are you serious?
You're putting me on!
they made a "deal" because there was never any indication Iran was doing anything it wasnt legally entitled to do under the NPT.

Obama Buys False Iran Narrative
https://consortiumnews.com/2015/07/27/obama-buys-false-iran-narrative/
President Obama has fallen into the habit of accepting whatever “group think” is prevalent in Official Washington, which often falsely accuses some “enemy” of a nefarious deed, but Obama then tries to dodge the desired reaction: war. This risky pattern is playing out again over Iran, writes Gareth Porter.
The Unreality of the Iran-Nuke Fight
https://consortiumnews.com/2015/07/26/the-unreality-of-the-iran-nuke-fight/
Israel is throwing the full weight of its U.S. lobby to crush the Iran nuclear agreement, but there are other factors adding momentum to the opposition – partisanship among Republicans and money from Israeli backers to propagandize the American people, explains ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
Israel Clears the Bench in Iran Fight
https://consortiumnews.com/2015/07/24/israel-clears-the-bench-in-iran-fi...
Exclusive: Israel – in its desperation to kill the Iran nuclear deal – is exposing its often-denied influence over the U.S. political/media process. Israeli officials are even using football analogies to rally U.S. lawmakers while emptying the bench of friendly “experts” to mount a goal-line stand, writes Robert Parry.
The nuclear issue was always bullshit.

more anti jewish paranoia
and your true enemy is who you think your friend is
not who the hippy rag says it is
Why is it "anti-Jewish" or "paranoia," pray tell?
I can assume you read NONE of the links because, hey, Israel and Jews NEVER do anything wrong - right?
Hint: Your laziness undermines your rejoinder.
You just REFLEXIVELY say the sort of shit you say - that makes you a gatekeeper and troll, not someone here to actually have a discussion on the merits.
So, really - fuck you and your fellow hasbara cunts. You're here to deny, deflect, and distract with zero respect for the truth.
The links provided, granting few will be inclined to peruse all or most - add up to a pretty convincing narrative re Zionist malfeasance and dissembling.
Your weak ass reply just proves that you don't CARE ABOUT THE FACTS - anything negative israel or judaism [but not iran or islam] you unthinkingly try to malign.
Here - you've failed spectacularly.

http://iranmatters.belfercenter.org/blog/breaking-down-iran-russia-oil-g...
It's actually more important from Russia and China's point of view to enable and help their Central Asian trading partner no matter what America has planned.When was the last time that you actually saw anything successful come out of neo-con U.S. foreign policy?Look at every war,it's all a waste and nothing good has come from it.They're doing nothing except bankrupt the U.S. budget.Is that the plan,to allow a bunch of morons to bankrupt America?They're doing a good job of it!
I think this is the answer to America in connection warming relations between Saudi Arabia and Russia.
