fantastic for Asia. West must accept to leave the Asian Affairs. We must have best and strong neighbours than to have strong enemies.

But, oil is already on a fast downhill as a source of energy for the future?

@M.Saeed, Iran is thinking about today not about next century. This is the right step for Iran.

“There is a huge potential for Russian investment in Iran's energy sector, Rouhani told reporters.” _ Yes. Because Iran does not have Russia's oil field technologies and drilling equipment, they need help. Iran's oil industry has the potential to be much larger. Just as Pakistan needs mining technology and equipment. The Colorado School of Mines was established in 1857. Technology does not come out of thin air.

@ Ths ... You are like a fly buzzing around. Iran would never ask America for help. Historically Iran's oil industry has nothing to do with America. The British established the Anglo-Iranian Oil company in 1901. Standard Oil did not get to Saudi Arabia to explore for oil until 1926.

Russia is a military superpower - but it is not an economic superpower. Russia wants to do business with South Asia. Russia - believe it or not - is struggling economically because of corruption.
