Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 134289 United States 08/22/2006 09:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Iran's Navy Attacks and Boards Romanian Rig in Gulf (Update3) By Andy Critchlow and Marc Wolfensberger Aug. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Iran attacked and seized control of a Romanian oil rig working in its Persian Gulf waters this morning one week after the Iranian government accused the European drilling company of ``hijacking'' another rig. An Iranian naval vessel fired on the rig owned by Romania's Grup Servicii Petroliere (GSP) in the Salman field and took control of its radio room at about 7:00 a.m. local time, Lulu Tabanesku, Grup's representative in the United Arab Emirates said in a phone interview from Dubai today. ``The Iranians fired at the rig's crane with machine guns,'' Tabanesku said. ``They are in control now and we can't contact the rig.'' The Romanian company has 26 workers on the platform, he said. Iran, which holds the world's second-largest oil and gas reserves, is due to respond today to a European Union-led offer of incentives aimed at persuading it to halt uranium enrichment activities that are crucial to its nuclear program. Neither the press office of Iran's oil ministry nor the one of Iran's revolutionary guards could be reached for comment when called. Today is a national holiday in Iran. Crude oil for September was at $72.56 a barrel, up 11 cents, on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 12:06 p.m. in London. The contract expires today. The more-active October contract was up 7 cents at $73.37 a barrel. Straits of Hormuz Iran urged the United Arab Emirates last week to help it return another oil rig owned and operated by the Romanian company in the same waters close to the Straits of Hormuz, through which 20 percent of the world's daily oil supply moves on tankers. Grup said it recovered its rig last week because of a contractual dispute with its Iranian client, Oriental Oil Kish. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad suspended Oriental Oil's activities in 2005 on alleged corruption activity and ties to Halliburton Co. of the U.S. The U.A.E.-registered drilling company had signed a preliminary contract with Halliburton after winning an estimated $310 million contract to develop phases 9 and 10 of Iran's offshore South Pars gas reservoir. Mircea Geoana, the head of the Social Democratic Party, the main opposition party in Romania, called on the government to ``undertake all diplomatic measures necessary'' to persuade the Iranians to release the rig. He also called on President Traian Basescu in a news conference broadcast on Realitatea television to invite all political party heads to the presidential palace to ``discuss what Romania's reaction will be to this provocation.''.

Inspectors Away From Nuclear Site Oil Climbs Above $72 on Iran Refusal to Suspend Uranium Enrichment Officials: Iran Turns U.N. Inspectors Away From Nuclear Site Ayatollah: Iran to Continue Pursuing Nuclear Technology Iran to Offer 'Multifaceted Response' to Western Nuclear Incentives Package U.S. Does Not Expect Iran to Comply With U.N. Nuclear Deadline Rice: Iraq Won't Become Another Iran TEHRAN, Iran Iranian officials will deliver Iran's response to the Western package of nuclear incentives to ambassadors from Europe, China and Russia in Tehran Tuesday afternoon, state TV and the official news agency reported. The envoys from Britain, China, Russia, France, Germany and Switzerland have been called to attend a meeting with Iran's top nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, at the Supreme National Security Council building in central Tehran to receive the response. A top Iranian nuclear official has said Tehran's response will provide "an exceptional opportunity" for a return to the negotiating table for a compromise. CountryWatch: Iran A "Iran's response to the package is a comprehensive reply that can open the way for resumption of talks for a final agreement," Mohammed Saeedi, deputy head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said in comments published Tuesday. Even so, Iran on Monday twice showed its determination to push ahead with its nuclear program, which continues under the possible threat of economic and diplomatic sanctions imposed by the U.N. Security council if it does not halt uranium enrichment by Aug. 31. It turned away International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors from an underground site meant to shelter its uranium enrichment program from attack and its top leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, declared that Tehran will continue to pursue its nuclear activities.
