Funny how the middle east may have most the oil but the west supplies most the tech to make that oil usable... |
The Government subsidies the gas prices in Iran, so it is ridiculously cheap(I have heard - 38 cents/liter!), so it loses money on it.
Then it has to invest into oil refineries...
by some reason, it had lower priority than investments into the nuclear weapons research, support for terrorism and other very important things,,,
