Iran warns Arabs not to replace embargoed oil - Yahoo! News

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — An Iranian pro-reform newspaper says the country's OPEC governor has warned the country's Arab neighbors that Tehran will view any increase in crude production to counterbalance a potential embargo on Iranian oil as an unfriendly act.

A Sunday report by Shargh daily quotes Mohammad Ali Khatibi as saying that Arab nations will be an "accomplice in the consequences," if they raise output to offset any potential loss of Iranian crude exports due to an embargo.

New U.S. sanctions against Iran approved last month target the country's central bank and, by extension, its ability to sell petroleum abroad. The U.S. has delayed implementing the sanctions for at least six months. The EU is also contemplating an embargo.

What would the consequences be if the Arab nations decided to sub Iran's oil production? Terrorist attacks? Destruction of oil facilities? Invasion?

We already replied to them saying it is none of our business if countries decide to drop buying Iranian oil it is the internal matters of these countries. Oil sales are done through contracts if these countries decide to sign contracts with us instead of Iran it's their choice.

And I don't think Iran will do anything it is extremely difficult to take them seriously nowadays.

None IMV. Middle East politics is different, posturing could be equally as significant as actual war. It won't come to blows. Anyhow, Iran can't fight the GCC, the latter are raw-material extraction sites indirectly owned by the Romans and they won't tolerate any disturbance! Iran could incite a 'revolution' in Bahrain, or through it's appendages in Syria and Yemen, and that could put KSA at risk.

Another ally Iran could have used were the Quaida, because their apparent raison d'être was the end of indirect colonization in Arabia Felix through non-non-violent means, but they're all but gone.

As I understand it may be that Iran goes into battle in the future, but in the East, not the West.

Lets see - GCC allied themselves Iran's enemies, hosts US army which is threatened to be used against Iran, asks US to invade Iran, Saudis even offered oil to China with better conditions if it drops Iran's oil, etc, etc.

Its no wonder if Iran's oil export is cut, they would in return cut GCC oil. Arabs arent innocent bystanders, and if they participate with the West to choke Iran or even invade it, such warning as above is the least whats coming to them, common sense.

destabilizing Islamic states is an evil act.
This was the sole purpose of establishment of Iran regime, rest all is BS.

Just because Iran sucks at doing business and has to shove diplomacy in everything that does not make us "guilty" of anything. And I am curious on what you mean by "least of what is coming to them" remark.

I wouldnt call serving other countries interests like GCC are doing as "good business". Maybe its safer "business", but sell outs arent respected either.

Just follow common sense - GCC wants Iran to be either choked or invaded, and allies with US and co who promises to do that. It doesnt matter what you think as "guilty", what matters is they are part of a coalition against Iran, and will be treated as such. Oil will be cut for everyone, not just for Iran.

Invaded?? According to who wikileaks?? We keep calling for the same thing china is calling you know. "Iran's nuclear crisis can be resolved with diplomacy and not force". Until Iran's intentions are clear it would be foolish not to play it safe.

And Iran cutting oil for everyone is just childish behavior at it's best. Not a single country will stand by you then.

Iran is embargoed, not blockaded. Foreign nations like India will be very happy to trade with Iran inspite of this embargo, if they accept local currencies like Indian Rupee as payment, but if they insist on USD or EUR then there will be a problem and it will be 'khodafiz' for Iran and 'salam aleikum' to GCC.

60 bln/year to Hussein speaks otherwise, even if you dont believe wikileaks posted documents of Saudis "cut off the snakes head". Same as tens of billions US supplied offensive weaponry, at the same time when US threatens to start the war against Iran.

"Until Iran's intentions are clear" - only Iran knows its intentions, and it says its peaceful. Nobody provided a single proof otherwise. So if you under US influence dont believe what Iran is saying, you wont ever "know" Iran's intentions. In other words, Arabs participate in choking of Iran, and "nuclear crisis" is just an excuse. Same as it was with fake Iraq's WMD.

I dont see anything childish for Iran to harm its opponents, they do it to him, tit-for-tat is returned.

It is beyond amazing how Iran is expecting us to come and say "No we will not sign contracts with other nations" and again make us seem the center of the problem. If Japan wishes to sign with us for extra crude it's Japan's choice not ours. Of china India and any other nation does the same it is these countries choices/problems not ours.

That logic completely ignores circumstances. We arent talking about oil supplier as Venezuela, we are talking about coalition which wants to harm Iran, and Arabs are part of it. Iran's oil cut, Arabs oil cut. Tit-for-tat.
