In contrast to previously defiant statements that Iran will withstand any sanctions of its ‘enemies’, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani admitted on Tuesday that it is now very difficult to run the country with severely crippled oil revenues.

“Although we have some other incomes, the only revenue that can keep the country going is the oil money,” Radio Farda quoted Rouhani as saying, when he commented on the reduced oil revenues because of the U.S. sanctions on its oil industry and exports.

They’ve said for decades that oil was a blessing from Allah.

I guess Allah loves the US more than them then.

Muhammad, their “perfect man” lived his life without petroleum so today’s Muslims should emulate THAT lifestyle as a matter of preference. Let them ride camels and eat dates!

"...We never had so many problems in keeping our oil tanker fleet sailing,” Rouhani said...

Now that's funny. The head of the extortion gang holding the Straits hostage to every oil power in the area is having difficulties with its tankers. The guys planting the limpet mines and flying the drones are worried. My heart bleeds.

Nope -- bankrolling worldwide terrorism, endless wars of intervention, and economic/political corruption cripples Iran. Thanks bananaman22.
