Iran's Seyyed isolation grows leads to become China's proxy in Middle East

Iran isolation grows as France's Total cancels $10bn South Pars gas field project - Times Online:

"Efforts to isolate Tehran have scored a political and economic hit with a decision by France's Total group, the last big western energy company in Iran, to halt plans to develop huge natural gas reserves in the Gulf."

Does this mean that the Chinese are going to do this project as well. Why doesn't someone say something to the Chinese?

But Norway is still dealing with Iran's Seyyeds

Bloomberg.com: Europe: Total Postpones Plan to Invest in Iranian Gas Project:

"StatoilHydro ASA, Norway's biggest oil and gas producer, said today it will remain in Iran and complete a project to develop phases six to eight of South Pars."

Why? What's with the Scandinavians? They were all for banning the cartoons, and now this. What is the relationship between the Seyyeds and Norway? I know, Dynamite. Seyyeds love bombs. Where was it invented?

Iran's Seyyeds buying gold perhaps?

Bloomberg.com Commodities: Gold Gains on Mounting Iranian Tensions, Equity Market Slump :

"Crude-oil futures rose after Iran, the second-largest petroleum producer in the Middle East, tested more missiles in the Persian Gulf."

But what this report does not refer to, is that we had so much money being returned to Iran from EU after the closure of banks.
