Iraq and Iran to sign deal on shared oil fields
Sep. 13, 2006. 01:00 AM www.thestar.com

Iraq and Iran plan to develop oil fields that straddle their border and Iraq will pump crude to its neighbour's refineries, deepening commercial ties between the two oil producers, Iraq's oil minister said yesterday.

The deal, first explored by Iran and Iraq in the 1970s, entails both countries defining their reserves and then pumping the crude jointly through a pipeline Iran said could be built in nine months.

Iraq could forge similar deals involving oil fields on borders with Syria and Kuwait.

The deal comes as Iraq's prime minister visits Tehran for the first time since he came to office five months ago.

The one dependable thing about rightwingers: they're really stupid when it comes to distinguishing reality from propaganda.
