Mr. Tea
Let's Talk About Ceps
I somehow doubt that IRAN needs a civilian nuclear programme (second largest reseves of conventional crude in the world - 133 gigabarrels http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_reserves#Iran, as well as having the second largest natural gas reserves in the world).
I though Iraq had the second-biggest oil reserves? Obviously the whole region is fuel-rich but I was unaware Iran had especially big reserves.
Perhaps it's just sabre-rattling. I certainly hope so. Even North Korea seems to have backed down, in return for a big wodge of aid.
