An interesting article from the recent news highlights a challenge facing Iran, access to natural resources and the effects of outside influences. The battle is overtly between Iran, Kuwait, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia over natural gas reserves. The natural gas reserve is located within all three countries’ disputed maritime boundaries. Moreover, like the 1954 oil issue involving the Anglo-Iranian Oil company “(now known as BP)” (Al Jazeera), the natural gas reserves are a byproduct of an agreement involving BP.
The subtle battle continues Iran’s efforts to eliminate foreign influence from Iranian Oil seen in the 1950s. As mentioned by Ira Lapidus, “The dispute with the oil companies was settled in 1954 by the formation of the National Iranian Oil company and a consortium of foreign oil companies including the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (renamed British Petroleum) . . . “(Lapidus, p551). Oddly enough, BP is still involved and Sunni (Kuwait) and Wahhabi (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) Islamic countries.
Iran continues their efforts to manage an international commodity, instability on its borders, and a history of imbalance within its government. Other Arab countries also face the challenge as they strive for a national identity, international autonomy, and internal stability.
