Iran has the world's third largest oil reserves and second largest gas reserves, and is the world's fourth largest producer of crude oil. Iran's priorities for the next 5 years are: (1) raise oil production and exports; (2) increase natural gas production for domestic use; and (3) expand refining capacity. Iran prohibits non-Iranian firms from obtaining an ownership interest by investing in oil and gas fields, but allows them to enter into "buy-back" arrangements in which the foreign firms may receive entitlements to oil or gas for a limited time in exchange for the funds they expend on the project. This report: (1) provides a list of foreign firms engaging in commercial activity in Iran's oil, gas, or petrochemical sectors from 2005 to 2009; and (2) provides info. about these sectors.

The U.S. has banned most U.S. trade and investment with Iran and prohibited firms from knowingly trans-shipping U.S. goods to Iran through other nations. The U.S. has also acted to limit Iran¿s ability to explore for, extract, refine, or transport its petroleum resources. Maps and table.

The United States faces major challenges in dealing with Iran, the threat of terrorism, and the tide of political instability in the Arabian Peninsula. The presence of some of the world’s largest reserves of oil and natural gas, vital shipping lanes, and Shia populations throughout the region have made the peninsula the focal point of US and Iranian strategic competition. Moreover, large youth populations, high unemployment rates, and political systems with highly centralized power bases have posed other economic, political, and security challenges that the Gulf states must address and that the United States must take into consideration when forming strategy and policy.

This report analyzes four key aspects of US and Iranian strategic competition--sanctions, energy, arms control, and regime change. Its primary focus is on the ways in which the sanctions applied to Iran have changed US and Iranian competition since the fall of 2011. This escalation has been spurred by the creation of a series of far stronger US unilateral sanctions and the European Union’s imposition of equally strong sanctions, both of which affect Iran’s ability to export, its financial system, and its overall economy.
