    This is clear antisemitism. Unless Israel exceed the daily limit of 10,000 women and children massacred then no criticism is allowed to be placed on this peace loving state.

    BP and its partner, the Iranian Oil Company UK Limited, IOC UK Ltd, have announced that gas production and export had begun from the Rhum field, the UK's largest undeveloped gas discovery, 240 miles northeast of Aberdeen. The partners in the Rhum field are BP (operator) 50% and Iranian Oil Company UK Limited 50%.

    I thought the USA was already trying to start a trade war with many other countries?

    Mind you May is trying to start a war between Northern Ireland and Eire.

    started a topic Iran sanctions threaten North Sea deal

    Iran sanctions threaten North Sea deal

    So our new chlorinated chicken washing pork hormone injecting trading partner looks like a real nice keeper. Mrs May really needs to find a backbone and stand up to this bully. Perhaps she should call Macron, he's been doing a stand up job of saying what we're all thinking.. in the lions den no less.

    The Rhum gas field in the North Sea, which supplies 5% of the UK's gas, is half-owned by the Iranian State Oil Company.
    BP, which owns the other half, is in the process of offloading its share to small North Sea specialist Serica, but that deal has not completed.
    BP does huge amounts of business in the US and will be desperately keen to avoid being seen as a business partner of the Iranian state.
    It's a good example of how sanctions against a state can have wide repercussions for the international business community.

    Couldn't have said it better myself.

    It's time for the world to impose tough sanctions on the corrupt warmongers of the US and israel.

    Netanyahu (three corruption cases pending) has been lying about Iran's nuclear capabilities since 1992, they're always 1-5 years away from destroying the world.

    As I said, he's corrupt. He lies for a living, as does his bosom buddy Trump.

    They deserve each other. The world deserves neither.
