Iran Oil Offer Pleases Turkey But Not U.S.

Iranian Foreign Minister Manuchehr Mottaki”s offer to open natural gas and oil wells in Iran to Turkey, and even market the extra gas produced by these wells, was well received by Turkish energy circles.

However, Mottaki”s offer would give rise to new problems in Turkish-American relations said Turkish ministry of energy sources. Mottaki also offered Turkey the use of the Iranian gas pipeline to carry long-awaited Turkmen gas to Turkey. The sources said that Iranian Oil Minister Kazem Vaziri Hamaneh would visit Ankara to discuss the details of the offer.
