Are the Brits still involved with the Abadan oil refinery? I'm assuming they are feeding supply lines to Iraq from there. The Brits occupied southern Iraq.... Basra to be exact.

Iranian oil industry is 100 percent nationalized however they lost many Iranian scientist who left after the revolution and with sanctions they operate well bellow capacity. Iran holds the purest oil (best quality) but it still needs fuel from outside to run the taxis around.

If anybody is supplying anything from Abadan then its Iran. Nice city btw

I know the Abadan oil refinery was a Anglo-Persian venture but it sustained damage during the Iran-Iraq war. I know Iran is feeding oil to Iraq, it only makes sense. Basra is also known for its oil. So to assume the British have interest in Iran isn't that far fetched.

UAE was probably relaying the info to the U.S.

Oman uncovers 'UAE spy network'



Oman claims to have uncovered a United Arab Emirates (UAE) spy network in the Gulf Arab state that targeted its government and military.

The UAE have denied having links to any such network while a regional security analyst on Sunday said that he found the allegations puzzling.

"This is all very murky," Theodore Karasik, director of research and development at the Dubai-based Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis, said.

"One possibility is that the UAE wants to know more about Iran-Oman relations because of Tehran and Muscat's long ties in security and military cooperation."

Oman's state news agency reported that its "security services uncovered a spying network belonging to the state security apparatus of the United Arab Emirates, targeting ... Oman and the way its government and military work".

It gave few details but an Omani government official, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter, said a number of Omani nationals had been arrested, including some who worked for the government.

The Omani official said the arrests dated back about two months, but gave no other details.

Oman's news agency ONA said the suspects would be sent to court.

The UAE foreign ministry, in a statement carried by the state news agency WAM, said "the UAE expresses its full willingness to cooperate with ... Oman in any investigations that it carries out in full transparency to uncover (those) who try to mar the relations between the two countries."

Oman maintains good relations with Iran and was instrumental in helping to negotiate the release of one of three US hikers accused by Tehran of straying from Iraq into Iranian territory.

Iraq still has vast reserves of both oil and gas. The Anglo-Americans where shocked by the lack of production capacity in Iraq and the Iraqi oil industry was seriously undeveloped under Saddam.

Iranian and Iraqi oil is the heavy sulfurous Brent crude kind and not the light sweet North Sea type. This type of heavy oil is used industrial, to power ships and for heating. It's like sludge and is nasty toxic stuff!

Irans a long way off from mastering oil refinery technology and producing it's own gasoline. Irans "civil" nuclear program is also joke especially in light of the fact that the county in so rich in oil. Hydo is better for electricity production than nuclear and Iran has a lot of snow-capped, mountainous areas.

Iceland has geothermal energy and they have more electricity, than they know what to do with. Perfect place to set up a energy guzzling, Aluminum ore processing plant Iceland.

The Anglos will be far more intrested in Iraqi NG than oil. As the UK is on the other end of the Russian Mafia's, NG pipelines and the UK is a very big NG customer. Israel and Turkey are also no doubt looking to syphon off Iraqi energy. However it's not the British who where behind that war.

I wasn't aware that the Russian mafia controlled any gas pipelines in Europe. :P

Thats because you don't read the Guardian.

MOSCOW — A branch of the Russian security services specifically demanded that the Guardian's Moscow correspondent be barred from entering the country, a report said.

Luke Harding was expelled from Russia after reporting claims in US diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks that the country had become a "mafia state", the paper announced.

"Harding was not allowed to enter Russian territory on the demand of one of the Russian (security) structures," a security source told the state-run RIA Novosti agency, saying his name was on a list of undesirable persons.

The source did not specify further but the comment indicated the demand may have come from the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) or the Federal Security Service (FSB).

The source did not explain why Harding was deemed undesirable.

The Russian foreign ministry has yet to give an explanation for the expulsion, which the Guardian said is believed to be the first removal of a British staff journalist from the country since the end of the Cold War.

'Israel, US destabilizing ME region'


Iranian Parliament (Majlis) Speaker Ali Larijani has condemned efforts by the United States
and Israel to destabilize countries in the Middle East region.


“While stability is necessary in relations between countries … the US and the Zionist regime [of Israel] prevent this (stability),” Larijani said in a meeting with Qatari Speaker of the Advisory Council Mohammed bin Mubarak al-Khulaifi in Doha on Wednesday.

Larijani added that efforts by the US and Israel to cause a rift between Shia and Sunni Muslims are aimed at causing a split in the Muslim world.

“We oppose the attitude of the US and the Zionist regime. This is why we helped Hezbollah during the 33-day War and similarly we supported Hamas and Gaza,” IRIB quoted Larijani as saying.

“The Iranian nation always supports regional countries and strives for the region's stability,” he added.

Referring to Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani's trip to Tehran in December 2010, Larijani said this visit resulted in the improvement of relations between the two countries.

During his visit, Al Thani held talks with senior Iranian officials, including Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, on bilateral relations and the latest regional developments.

Al-Khulaifi, for his part, described stability as the most important factor for the progress and development of all countries.

The Qatari lawmaker also congratulated Larijani and the Iranian nation on the 32th anniversary of the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
