The oil field in southwest Iran stretches over an area of 2,400 sq km in the Khuzestan province and is around 80 meters deep, according to the Iranian leader. It would be the country's second largest oil field, behind one in Ahvaz containing an estimated 65 billion barrels. "We have discovered a new big oil field with 53 billion barrels of reserves," Rouhani said in a speech Sunday in the city of Yazd, according to the semi-official Mehr news agency.
The discoveries would be a lifeline for Iran's economy, which has suffered significantly under a series of US sanctions over the past year since the US withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal. Rouhani attacked the US during his speech and said Iran is succeeding despite the punitive sanctions.
CNN I like Iran...
Interesting timing for this announcement. I call bullshit!
Now, the Iranians can build nuclear weapons galore! The world is a MUCH SAFER place!!! Great diplomacy, 'President' Trump!
Probably located in Iraq.
Si no son como otros por ahí que no piensan en su pueblo, esperemos que le saquen el mejor provecho, para todos sin exclusiones.
Old news...very old news...regurgitated by fake news CNN
Black market won’t even touch Iran products. Good luck with that one.
Ya I’m sure. Why not make it 55 billion barrels?
We are either going to war or Trump will make Iran an ally, send our troop to protect the oil. Let's see what Putin tells him to do.
Oh here comes the US and their Freedom😂
So, the rest of the world will be expecting good ol 'Murica to declare war against Iran soon. Brace yourselves people.
I wish we’d stop using oil just so these terrorist islam countries would go back to their caves
*desire to invade intensifies*
Besides American foreign policy being a stark failure, what else is this convoluted and manipulative article saying? Is it implying war because of failed sanctions? Why is there no mention of Israel’s role? If the US dictates oil sales at their whim then climate means nothing.
Si I'm guessing the U.S. army will be there shortly.
Death of 15 children with Epidermolysis bullosa in Iran due to USAsanctions and lack of medicine realDonaldTrump
Why happened to CNNs Green movement. Should t you be condemning the Oil? Or is it cause ya just hate Trump
They don’t have a market
If cnn didn’t do 100% negative stories about trump every day for the past three years maybe Iran would have come to the table. Your unbalanced coverage will cause many deaths.
You mean what was stolen from the show he pirated
Trump could be heard screaming from the bathroom.... We need to get that oil..
They discovered it? Was it misplaced? 🙄
Sanctions do cripple countries, but I doubt he'd use that potential profit to benefit the Iranian people.
Dudes lie. They are born that way.
... America right now.
BREAKING: US declares war with Iran
You seem giddy with pleasure
Ya right
US army will be deployed for another peace mission to Iran😜
Oil is so 1973.
*Us Government has entered the chat
We'll take it. Thanks
I guess Russia and not America is going to benefit from that oil discovery.
Leave it in the ground. No one needs it.
Or they could be just punking the Saudis just to screw up the Aramco IPO.
Oh now we will definitely be invading, smh
Now you need to keep your eyes on Syria Turkey and Russia this Should be interesting
“ a find that could boost the country's battered economy amid stringent US sanctions” Also: A find that could boost hostilities via proxies (See Venezuela).
Just seeking attention. Yesterday was it was scaling down JCPOA commitments, today this.
The pic looks like a memoji
Well got a new country to invade America
Well, if they played well with others in the sandbox, we would lift those sanctions.
Operation Iraqi Freedom 2020
Good thing Obama sent them $150,000,000,000 in Cash on that airplane!

Not unless US decides to declare war. Don’t worry, they will find a reason. Republicans always do
Too bad they can't sell any of it.
America invading in 3..2..1

Liberal conundrum here

Heartiest Congratulations to the peoples of Iran
