Just days after US President Donald Trump called for further isolation of Iran, a Norwegian solar company signed a deal Tuesday to invest €2.5 billion in the country over the next five years.

“Norway is fully committed to the JCPOA (nuclear deal), and this is proof that we have taken the opening very seriously, and we will see more investment very soon,” Norwegian ambassador Lars Nordrum told AFP.

He was hosting the signing at his Tehran residence between Norway’s Saga Energy and Iran’s Amin Energy Developers, who will work together to install two gigawatts of solar panels in multiple sites around the central desert region.

That makes it the second-largest investment deal in Iran since the 2015 nuclear deal eased global sanctions, and dwarfs the 600-megawatt solar project finalized just last month between Iran and British investment fund Quercus. […]

The Norwegian project is being financed by a consortium of European private and state investors, and backed by a sovereign guarantee from the Iranian government. …

"COMMERCE BETWEEN MASTER AND SLAVE IS ________"?

Having an infrastructure/grid isn't always a panacea when it becomes an anchor to technology that runs on fuel controlled by your owners.

The NWO will gladly let Iran leap forward if it means putting the ideas of America's free-minded founders out of their hive-minded misery.

Frankly, the sooner we close the borders, the better, get out of the UN and NATO.. It seems the world has a deathwish and has for a long time.. and sadly, so have many of its “leaders”.

The EU would be too happy for us to leave NATO. They demonstrate that here, too. The last thing the world needs is for them to militarize; and see how they act like our enemy already.

Norway, while not part of the EU officially, is part of the European Economic Area, which is EEC-like and so a de-facto extension of that union.

Money going into Iran from the West is always an issue.

Why does western Europe want, madly, the nuclear arms deal with Iran? This article provides just one example of the answer - blood money.

Even worse, Norway jumping on the bandwagon when it wasn’t even one of the P5+1. Something really malevolent is behind this.
