Iran was sentenced to 347,000,000,000,000 Tomans in the Crescent / Zanganeh contract to a paper company from the pockets of the people


According to the economic correspondent of Fars News Agency, the publication of the news about the condemnation of Iran in the Crescent contract by Reuters again made the country’s media environment sensitive to this contract full of ambiguity and corruption.

According to Reuters, the Emirati company “Dana Gaz” (parent company of Crescent Petroleum) has announced that the International Court of Arbitration has fined the National Iranian Oil Company 607.5 million dollars (equivalent to 18 thousand billion Tomans) due to a dispute over gas supply with Dana Gas Company. Has condemned.

The $ 607.5 million fine relates to the first part of the Crescent contract. The Crescent contract is a 25-year contract (2030-2005) between the National Iranian Oil Company and Crescent Petroleum Company, which has been examined in lawsuits between the two countries in the two periods of 2005-2014 and 2014-2030.

As a result, it appears that the $ 607.5 million fine in Iran relates to the first part of the case. But a little later, Massoud Mirkazemi, the head of the Program and Budget Organization, in a closed session of the parliament, recounted the amount of Iran’s conviction in the first part (2005-2014) of the Crescent case as follows: “We have paid the damages and the court has ordered us to pay $ 2.4 billion, which will be deducted from our account.”

* To settle the sentence of Iran, 4 million Tomans will be taken from the pocket of each Iranian

In fact, the $ 607.5 million fine of Iran in the Crescent contract was the share of Danagaz (Crescent parent company) in the total $ 2.4 billion of Iran’s conviction in the first part of the contract. According to rumors, if the current trend continues, Iran’s sentence in the second part of the Crescent contract will be at least $ 10 billion.

In the best case scenario, this case costs Iran $ 12.4 billion, which is a very high figure. Taking into account the dollar rate of 28 thousand Tomans, the fine of Iran in the Crescent case will be 34.7 trillion (347 thousand billion Tomans) in the best case.

If this figure is distributed to the entire population of the country, in fact, each of the 85 million Iranians must pay more than 4 million tomans to settle the fine resulting from the Crescent contract, while bribery and corruption of the then officials of the Ministry of Oil in the reform government Such damage has been inflicted on the country. A deal that, in addition to economic losses and non-profits, would strengthen the UAE’s claims to Iran’s three islands.

* $ 12.4 billion profit for a company that could not finance $ 40 million

Interestingly, this figure flows into the pockets of Crescent at least $ 12.4 billion, which at the beginning of the contract was not able to finance even $ 40 million in guarantees, as Nasrullah Pejmanfar, deputy chairman of the Article 90 Parliamentary Commission, said in the Jahanara program. “Crescent was a weak company that could not even finance the $ 40 million contract,” Ofoq was quoted as saying.

Examination of Crescent’s records clearly shows that the company’s specialty is intermediation and brokerage, and this issue was so clear at the time of the negotiations and the conclusion of the contract in the second reform government that Hassan Rouhani, then Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, explained the shortcomings of Crescent. : «Selling gas to the UAE through an intermediary (Crescent Company), concluding a long (25-year) contract with an unreliable company that has performed poorly in previous years and has ignored Iran’s rights in Mubarak Square. “The contract price and conditions are very unfavorable compared to other contracts in the region.”

* Crescent’s business was concluding a formal contract, suing and seeking compensation

Malik Shariati, a member of the parliament’s energy commission, explains about Crescent’s track record: “Crescent has been a bad company for some time, and it is not clear why it was a party to the contract of the National Iranian Oil Company in the second reform government. “In 1348, during the dictatorial regime, this company signed a 40-year contract with Iran in the Mubarak oil field, which after the revolution sought to gain concessions from Iran under various pretexts.”

“Crescent is a paper company and similar to what happened in Iran’s contract with this company, it happened in Iraq and Egypt,” he added. “In other countries, the company has tried to seek compensation from various countries by concluding formal and corrupt contracts with them and terminating that contract. In general, Crescent’s business has been to conclude a corrupt contract and then seek compensation.”

* Why did Bijan Zanganeh sign a contract with a brokerage company full of bribes and corruption?

Now, the main question is how Bijan Zanganeh, the former Minister of Petroleum and the officials of this ministry in the second reform government, enter into a gas deal with a well-established brokerage company and sell Iranian gas to this company at a low price, and ultimately lead to Will Iran be fined at least $ 12.4 billion?

According to experts, if the judiciary examines the case of domestic defendants in the Crescent contract and convicts them, it is possible to change the decision of the International Court of Justice in the second part of the contract and prevent a sentence of at least $ 10 billion in Iran. The country is very important in terms of enlightening public opinion and administering justice.
