Iran is following Russia’s lead and selling oil at a discount
When we talk about the price of a barrel of oil, we’re talking about two benchmarks – one called Brent crude, mostly for oil from Europe and the Mideast – and West Texas Intermediate for oil from here in the U.S. But the oil market is made up of lots of buyers and sellers. And if producers want to sell their product at a discount – below whichever benchmark price applies – they can. That’s what Iran is doing to compete with Russia … selling oil to China. Russia’s still producing more oil than it can use at home, so it has to sell some. But there aren’t many countries willing to buy Russian crude right now. “It’s an interesting aspect of the supply and demand problem,” said Hugh Daigle, who teaches petroleum engineering at the University of Texas. “So what ends up happening is when there’s an oversupply, you end up selling it at a loss. And that’s what we’re seeing.” That puts the buyers of Russian crude, like China and India, in the driver’s seat, because the price is still so low even once they’ve factored in the risk they’re taking by going against global opinion and policy. “The market sort of arrives at this clearing price or discount where the buyers are willing to take on the risk and take on that volume. And the sellers are willing to sell it,” said Abhi Rajendran, research director at Energy Intelligence. Iran is following Russia's lead and selling oil at a discount - Marketplace

Comments: I am no expert nor have all the info. Based on what I have read, Iran is selling oil at discounted rate due to sanctions. Whomever buying the oil is taking a risk and for that reason is asking for a large discount. I might be wrong but that is what I have read somewhere. If they can sell the same amount of oil at market value but lower price, it would turn out to be about the same but at least they get paid rather than receiving (trading) stuff from China and India. But again, it might not be the motivation they need.

Zinsky khan, I think this is the reason. Iran selling oil with no issues.
“Latest OPEC monthly report shows that Iran produced 2,574,000 barrels per day in June, slightly higher than in May. When the United States imposed full oil export sanctions on Iran in May 2019, exports dropped to around 250,000.”
If Iran joins the market officially, oil price will drop and will mean iran has to export more to maintain current income. Why would they do this? This way they keep their nuclear program and make money as if they reached a deal. In the next 3 years Iran will make a lot more and will make up for frozen assets. The frozen assets are always Iran’s and not going anywhere. We are better off not signing the deal. We will be a stronger with the bomb and that will mean in the next negotiation we totally have the upper hand.

Better for Russia but not good for Iran. Iran can't sell oil as much or at the market value and receive actual money for it. Iran will also miss out on $billions of frozen assets.
With that said, Russia will force Iran to go one way or another that benefits them the most.

شیخ ابواسحاق اطعمه معروف به بسحاق اطعمه، شاعر پارسیگوی نیمهٔ دوم قرن هشتم و اوایل قرن نهم بود. او در نیمه دوم سده هشتم هجری قمری در شیراز متولد شد. چون به شغل پنبهزنی اشتغال داشت به حلاج معروف بود. شیخ بسحاق در اشعار خود از انواع غذاها و خوراکیها استفاده کرده و به همین دلیل به او لقب اطعمه را دادهاند. همشهری آنلاین - مریم ورشو: بیشتر ما خاطرات خوشمزهای از سفرههای مادربزرگهایمان داریم؛ مثلا میگوییم «آبگوشتی که مامانبزرگ بار میذاشت رو هیچکی دیگه تو فامیل نمیتونه اونطوری درست کنه» و یا «یادش بهخیر همه فامیل آخر هفتهها دور سفره جمع میشدیم و از دستپخت مامانبزرگ و غذاهای فوقالعادهاش کِیف میکردیم».
چند نمونه از اشعار شیخ اطعمه را اینجا باهم مرور میکنیم. «خواجه حافظ: عیب رندان مکن ای زاهد پاکیزه سرشت/ که گناه دگران برتو نخواهند نوشت شیخ اطعمه: عیب کاچی مکن ای بورک پاکیزه سرشت/ که خمیرش به فطیر تو نخواهند نوشت/ تو اگر تخم گیا کاری و ما سیر و پیاز/ هر کسی آن درود عاقبت کار که کشت». «عماد فقیه: مگر فرشته رحمت درآمد از در ما/ که شد بهشت برین کلبه محقر ما شیخ اطعمه: مگر که شمع مزعفَر درآمد از در ما / که برفروخت از آن سفره محقر ما». «خواجه حافظ: اگر آن ترک شیرازی بهدست آرد دل ما را/ به خال هندویش بخشم سمرقند و بخارا را شیخ اطعمه: به پیشم چون خراسانی گر آری صحن بغرا را / به بوی قلیهاش بخشم سمرقند و بخارا را». «خواجه حافظ: بلبلی برگ گلی خوشرنگ در منقار داشت/ و اندر آن برگ و نوا خوش نالههای زار داشت شیخ اطعمه: مُخلفی سنبوسه پر قیمه در منقار داشت/ در میان جوشِ روغن نالههای زار داشت». فقرا در قرن هشتم چه میخوردند | بدبخت خانه از نظر شیخ کجا بودانواع آش بر سفره گذشتگانانواع و اقسام آش نیز پای ثابت آشپزی ایرانی بوده است و آنقدر طرفدار داشته که خود بسحاق اطعمه در جایی آورده «آشی که در او نخود نباشد/ مانند جهیز بی عروس است». آش زیره، آش سماق، آش تمر و آلو، البوبا آشی به غایت چرب و گرم، آش هفت دانه و بسیاری دیگر از آشهایی هستند که در اشعار ابواسحاق اطعمه نامشان ذکر شده است. در زیر نام برخی غذاها که در دیوان به آنها اشاره شده را نیز میخوانید: مُقلبا: آشی است که از گوشت و پیه گوسفند و کوفته و کلهپاچه حیوانات و لوبیا و لبو و پیاز و شلغم و زردک و کلم درست میشد و اهل شکم به این آش که مزه کله پاچه میداد علاقه فراوان داشتند؛ مُخلا: بادمجان سرخ شده که با گوشت میکوبیدند و به آن آب لیمو میزدند؛ سُختو: کلهپاچه و شکمبه که مملو از برنج، زعفران، پیاز، لپه، ادویه، گوشت، جگر و پیه بود؛ النمک زی: حلوایی که اصلش از عسل باشد و آرد شسته و روغن گوسفند و مغز پسته و بادام و قند و مشک و گلاب بر آن بپاشند؛ چنگال: نانی که در روغن خرد بشکنند و بمالند و قدری شیرینی زنند؛ آچار که انواع ترشیهاست؛ اشکنبه که با شکم حیوانات پخت میشد؛ انگشت عروسان: حلوایی به شکل انگشت میسازند و نوک آن را سرخ میکنند؛ بشنزه: چنگالی که با ارده و خرما و نان گرم سازند؛ تابه بریان: گوشتی که در میان تاوه پزند تا با سرکه و سیر و بادمجان کباب شود؛ بُکَران که تهدیگ است؛ قطاب، پالوده، جوزاغند یا جوزقند، آب دندان، کاچی، بورانی بادنجان، حلوا، نی شکر، دوشاب، کاک، فرنی، یخنی، هریسه، قلیه برنج، سنگریزه یا همان کوفتهریزه، صابونی و کلاشکن که نوعی حلواست، مشکوفی و نرگسی برخی از این غذاها هستند که در دیوان اشعار ابواسحاق آمده و جزو غذاهای ایرانی در قرن هشتم و نهم محسوب میشده است.

Comments: I think Iran and US will sign a deal in the next couple of weeks. Both sides understand that it could be canceled in 2 years. For iran, it’s worth nearly $100 billion funds frozen around the world. For US it means couple of years of delay before Iran has a bomb.
I still believe that the original deal would have helped average Ali in Iran but this one will not do much for citizens! It’s unfortunate that Trump decided to kill the previous deal with only one hope (regime change to help Israel & KSA). That failed all its objectives. It only made life worse for Iranians.

Comments: That is true. Anything could happen.
EU, China and Russia could argue against US if they pull out but would they?
Either way, it doesn’t seem to be as big of a deal as the original agreement as far as it’s effectiveness. At this stage it seems more political than anything else. Iran needs cash and the rest (other than Russia) need oil and gas. I think Russia is playing a much bigger role this time around.

Comments: Zinsky once USA abandons it means imposing sanctions and closing banking system on iran. The escrow will be like how our money currently sitting in FIFA and we cannot touch a penny of it. I know what you guys are talking about is wishful thinking. But not possible. Again iran is just so smart by throwing the ball in US court. It is best for iran to continue enrichment. Signing this will be a suicide for iran.

Comments: I agree with Zinsky. I think it could be done in an escrow fashion. But I also think that Biden would be inclined to do the penalty, if Iran insisted on it because we are really talking about a Penalty that the Trump administration would have to pay. :) Drafting such a conditional agreement and the automatic trigger for payment is complicated though and with this thing being so close to signing, I am not sure there is enough time to figure out all the details.

Comments: Faramarz,
I wouldn’t count on the ranking. People who make money betting on the games are giving us very little change of advancing. I trust that more.

Comments: If they are talking about guaranteed payment in case one side pulls out of the deal, they would ask for a escrow account in a European bank that could be used to pay Iran in this case.
What would be the amount and how to trigger the payment could be much more complicated but could be done.
Will US agree to it is a big question as they are the only party who might kill the deal in couple of years.
I think at this stage, it’s almost a done deal but both sides are delaying the final signature for political reasons.
Is it good for Iran? I think it will help the government balance their budget for a year or two. They have millions of barrels of oil in storage they can sell at market prices. After that, it all depends on the management which is not any good when it comes to money other than making it disappear!!!

Comments: Iran's group in the world cup is the weakest group. We (ranked #25) are grouped with the two teams just above us United States (#24) and Wales (#23). Then the top team, England, is ranked #12. Under normal circumstances, we would have a very good chance of advancing to the next round. But why is everyone, including many Iranians dismiss our chances? I think it has everything to do with the coach and how we played in the qualifying rounds over anything else.
