New refinery opened near Tehran

Ahmadinejad: Iran should focus on oil products, not crude

Reuters - Iran should stop exporting crude oil and instead try to sell refined oil products, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying on Tuesday, a day after the United States moved to tighten sanctions on Tehran further. "We must stop the exports of crude oil," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) in a speech opening a new refinery near Tehran. "We must go in such a direction that we do not export crude oil, and this is doable through the development of refineries and distribution." >>>

I bet most people do, But it all depends on what the script , for their next move reads. or rather what the big plan is. 

If they remain good boys and eat their meat and potato and listen to what they are told, we might even see them clean-shaved and soon living somewhere in DC...

if they don't then being dragged out of the bottom of a stinky well, is what they will get.

I admire your sense of wanting independence and all that it entails. but aren't you kinda sorta "relying" on foreigners, right in the middle of the foreign heartland, to make ends meet, raise family and progress?

I mean...do you realize that?

What would be so wrong if the people ine iran, had acess to the same resources and services?

US army was closing on Bagdad, and he was telling reportes, we are winning the war. These mufia rejim's days are numbered, and they act as if nothing is happening. I would love to see the day they dig Ali cholagh out of his hiding cave, and ahmaghinejad beeing dtraged in the street by people.

I would have been delighted to see…

Iran on the path of [more] self-sufficiency but somehow I doubt any and all such news from IRI.

  

Who knows, perhaps all these sanctions can help Iranians to wake up and learn they can NOT rely on foreigners for ever to provide them the goods nor they can rely on government to feed them/provide them. 

  

With the dream of one day to see Iranians to stand on their own, not only as a country but also as individuals.

Practical to ship bensin?

by choghok on

I do not know if it is possible to ship bensin and other flamable material financialy sound? I would guess the insurance would cost much more.

 

If it is possible then it should have been done long a go, maybe instead of investing so much money in nuclear power plant the money should have been invested there.
