Iran: Gas conference proof US pressure ineffective
A high-profile natural gas conference sponsored in part by two of Europe's largest energy companies opened Saturday in Tehran - evidence, Iran said, that US Pressure was ineffective in preventing the country from developing its vast oil and gas resources.
"Participation of (European) companies and their interest in investing in Iran's oil and gas sector, despite strong US and Israeli pressures, shows that economic interests supersede political considerations," Iran's state-run radio said Saturday. (AP)
