In other news I read a swiss company signed a potential 42 billion dollar deal with Iran to import natural gas. And Iran is already burning 125,766 barrels of oil a day to produce electricity. Besides that oil generation basically the other 80-90% of Iran's other generation is natural gas.
The annual market value of those 125k barrels of oil per day is 4.5$ billion.
