Who cares if Iran is a terrorist state, and money paid to the Iranian government can be used to support terrorist groups? There is an immense profit to be made! :salute:

TEHRAN — Four big oil companies purchased the tender documents of 17 oil blocks in Iran, said National Iranian Oil Company’s (NIOC) exploration manager here on Friday.

Of over 30 domestic and foreign bidders, four oil companies bought the documents, Hossein Roshandel told the Mehr News Agency (MNA).

He declined to directly name the purchasers, however adding the Anglo-Dutch Shell, France’s Total, Brazil’s Petrobras and Malaysia’s Petronas, Spain’s Repsol, and Austria’s OMV were among the bidders.

The blocks’ names were not disclosed, either.

The 17 blocks were introduced to international oil companies in a two-day conference in Vienna early Feb., of which 5 are offshore and 12 are onshore.

The blocks are scattered in 9 provinces in a 129,000km area.

The whole blocks attract investments worth at least €46 million.
