Iran has discovered a new oil field in the countrys south with over 50 billion barrels of crude, its president said Sunday, a find that could boost the countrys proven reserves by a third as it struggles to sell energy abroad over U.S. sanctions.
The announcement by Hassan Rouhani comes as Iran faces crushing American sanctions after the U.S. pulled out of its nuclear deal with world powers last year.
Rouhani made the announcement in a speech in the desert city of Yazd. He said the field was located in Irans southern Khuzestan province, home to its crucial oil industry.
Some 53 billion barrels would be added to Irans proven reserves of roughly 150 billion, he said.
I am telling the White House that in the days when you sanctioned the sale of Iranian oil and pressured our nation, the countrys dear workers and engineers were able to discover 53 billion barrels of oil in a big field, Rouhani said.

Sure; after all, they won’t be needed (as John Kerry admitted) to fund terrorism now when Iran can do it with the revenue from all this new-found oil, right?
And of course we’ll also see how sincere entities like the EU are about so-called “de-carbonization”.

Can’t disbelieve everything; like the god of this world whose major false religion they believe, they mix lies with truth, so of course this latest announcement is 50/50.
I don’t disbelieve their “Death to America” rhetoric.

Hey, mullah, why only 50 billion? Why not a gazillion? Nobody’s checking your math. We can send the inspectors in to check your oil reserves as well as your fantasy math.

New oil field found with over 50B barrels Yet another incentive to invade, kill all the mullahs, melt down any/all fissionable material, and free the Persian people.

Maybe they can drink it since they won’t be able to sell it.

the desert city of Yazd. Why is this not a "Holy" city? I thought all their cities were "Holy cities???"

Is this part of his new stand-up routine? It looks like good material. He'll have people rolling in the aisles with this...
