Proposed Iran Federal Budget Reduces Oil Reliance
[Ynet] Iranian President Hasan Rouhani has presented parliament with a draft budget that would reduce the government's reliance on oil revenues.

The $72 billion budget, unveiled Sunday, is about 6 percent more than the previous year's budget of $68 billion.
Nice oil sale numbers as the boycott weakened ... before the price fell?
Oil revenues will make up just 33 percent of the proposed budget for the next Iranian calendar year that begins March 21, while it was 50 percent the previous year.
Anticipating strong sales of Persian rugs and pistachios...
And Persian made advanced arms technology: destroyers, battleships, sixth-generation fighter jets, super-tanks, all produced in Iran. They can do all that stuff locally now, and cheap. They say so and why would anyone doubt them...

#1 Rouhani did boost the defense budget significantly, with most of that going to the IRGC.

#2 As said before, to be an effective OWG Co-Superpower or "US-styled" Co-Superpower, RISING IRAN must have a National Military-Industrial Complex capable enuff + competetive enuff to support its ambition or agenda.

* OTOH TOPIX > [Seeking Alpha] DID "PEAK OIL" ARRIVE IN 2014?

As also said before, the greatest single threat from GWCC is the "Global/Universal" Govt-Pert consensus in that there is no consensus.

THE US-WORLD COULD BE DE FACTO RUNNING OUT OF OIL + OTHER VITAL OR STRATEGIC RESOURCES RIGHT NOW, BUT WON'T KNOW IT UNTIL OUR MIGHTY UNO FORMALLY BANS FRACKING AS A "CRIME/THREAT TO THE PLANET" OR "HUMANITY" CIRCA 2030-2050.

Another reason for maintsream Americans of Amerika to cross their fingers, pray hard, + hope the OWG Globalists do NOT miscalculate.

* ["INTERSTELLAR" MOVIE = Scene where Earth-based Scientist-Daughter realizes + angrily criticizes her seemingly LONG-LOST-DADDY-IN-SPACE for HIDING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUE STATE OF [dying]PLANET EARTH FROM HER + HER [dying]GENERATION here].

* 1960's-70's Guam Taotamonas = mid-1980's MAD MAX: THUNDERDOME + "We are the Children ... the Last Generation". BEFORE AEROSMITH, BEFORE BRUCE WILLIS + TEXAS-SIZED ASTEROIDS, THERE WAS "MAX" = TINA'S "SOLDIER" + HER "RAGGEDY MAN".
