Who built Iran's oil fields? It wasn't the sand jockeys. It was the British and American oil companies that pumped $$$$ into their oil fields. If it wasn't for us, they'd still be nomads riding camels. They tried to steal the property that didn't belong to them, just as Egypt did with the Suez Canal. Nationalizing other people's property is still theft.One might consider the oil under their land their property.Oil companies didn't duly lease or buy the land from which they produced oil?If so, it was theft.
