AFP: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday nominated a Revolutionary Guards commander targeted by international sanctions, Rostam Qasemi, to head the strategic oil ministry, reports said. Brigadier General Qasemi runs the sanctions-hit industrial wing of the elite Guards, Khatam al-Anbiya, which is massively active in the Islamic republic's oil sector. Iran is the second largest producer of oil cartel OPEC and currently holds its rotating presidency. Qasemi is on a list of Iranians subject to sanctions by the United States, the European Union and Australia due to their involvement in Iran's controversial nuclear programme >>>

Excellent point Mehrban!

I will add my few cents that I have to Mehrban 2 cents
by Bavafa on Fri Jul 29, 2011 09:37 AM PDTI think this move is more in line (in addition) of spear heading any possible dissident & strike by the oil workers. In essence, controlling & ensuring the blood line of IRI.
'Vahdat' is the main key to victory

My two cents (in addition)
by Mehrban on Fri Jul 29, 2011 09:34 AM PDTOil worker's strike is the most important (necessary) component of effective dissent. Sepaah moving in means tight control and installation of trusted elements in this key potential weak point. Great move on their part. But it is only a Kiish and not yet maat. Maat is when they could effectively run the ministery and actually make a positive impact on the economy, I doubt they are able to, they are way too greedy.
They have sure picked a scary looking guy :).

my 2 cents
by David ET on Thu Jul 28, 2011 08:05 PM PDT1-Khamenei is the head of sepah, so now has a better grip on controlling the oil money now.
2- Sepah is fed well and therefore will defend IR even more.
3- This was AN's bribe (reshveh) to Khamenei and Khamenei immedietly defended AN vs Parliament : //donbaleh.com/link/454713
4- This was the next big step after post election coup. The grip of military dictatorship is getting tighter.
If you can imagine Khamenei in military uniform, then it all makes more sense: //www.desktopwallpaperhd.com/wallpapers/10/5208.jpg

PN: I think you are right.
by vildemose on Thu Jul 28, 2011 07:10 PM PDTPN: I think you are right. That thought actually crossed my mind... I knew it had to have something with the talks of oil embargo. Thanks.

Iran is actually Opecs 3rd country
by choghok on Thu Jul 28, 2011 10:07 AM PDTIran is not Opecs second but only 3rd country. I think it will soon not even be 3rd.
For those who still had any doubts
