With the continuous development of the chemical industry, petroleum has always occupied a very important strategic position. As early as in ancient Egypt and Babylon, human beings have begun to discover and utilize oil. The Chinese name of oil was first named by Shen Kuo, a scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty. Oil is known as the "blood of industry" and has become one of the main targets of geological exploration. It is an important strategic reserve material and has attracted much attention from various countries.

Iran stands upright in front of the U.S.

The National Iranian Refining and Distribution Company and Bank Merat signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate on the construction of a strategic pipeline for the transportation of petroleum products in the country's eastern provinces.

The 948-kilometer-long pipeline, costing about 372 million euros, will pass through Kerman, South Khorasan and Khorasan Razavi provinces to ensure a sustainable supply of fuel for the eastern provinces, while shortening the transmission route and reducing fuel consumption and transportation costs, and to facilitate the export of petroleum products to its eastern neighbors, which is expected to deliver 150,000 barrels of petroleum products per day.

As an important oil producer in the Middle East, most of Iran's oil fields and facilities are located near the Persian Gulf, and if it wants to ship oil to the world, it must pass through this region. Moreover, the Persian Gulf region is not only a country of Iran, but also many pro-American countries. The military bases established by the US military here can monitor Iran’s every move. If the US concentrates all its forces in this area to prevent Iran from sending oil to the outside world , that is equivalent to breaking the economic lifeline of Iran. Once this new oil pipeline is completed, Iran will have more confidence, and even if the United States blocks the Strait of Hormuz, it will not be greatly affected.Editor/XingWentao
