Iran self-sufficient in building gas turbo-compressors: Official
Press TV – January 24, 2013
An Iranian energy official says the Islamic Republic has become self-sufficient in building gas turbo-compressors and is now among six countries which manufacture the equipment.
Director for Research and Technology at the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) Saeed Pakseresht said gas turbo-compressors are high-tech equipment whose design and manufacture technology is monopolized by a handful of European and American companies.
He added that domestic manufacturers can now design and manufacture indigenous turbo-compressors for gas projects across Iran.
Prior to such achievement, Pakseresht pointed out, Iranian companies made certain parts of gas turbines by transferring technology from foreign companies, but they are currently capable of both designing and building the whole assembly in the country.
The NIGC official noted that the Iranian Oil Ministry signed an agreement with a domestic research center in March 2012, commissioning the center to indigenize and develop the technology necessary for design and manufacture of gas turbines with capacities ranging from 25 to 30 megawatts.

Latvia urging UK to ‘prepare for war’ with Russia
By Lucas Leiroz | March 18, 2024
The Baltic countries continue their “preparation for war with Russia.” Now, as if it were not enough to engage in a suicidal militarization campaign, Latvia is also demanding that the main NATO countries, such as the UK, also begin adopting radical measures to prepare for the “inevitable” confrontation with Moscow. The main Latvian criticism of the British concerns the military service, with the Baltic country asking the UK to immediately resume conscription policies to increase the size of its forces.
Latvia’s foreign minister, Krisjanis Karins, stated that all NATO countries should follow the Latvian example when it comes to military preparation. According to him, it is necessary to implement special militarization measures and improve defense capacity in the face of the supposed “Russian threat”, which is why Western countries should unite in a common military policy. Karins believes that not all NATO states are efficiently engaged in this military preparation process. In this regard, he criticizes even the stance of key countries in the bloc, such as the UK.
Karins was asked by a journalist from The Telegraph about whether London should adopt mandatory military service for its citizens. He resolutely responded that Latvia “strongly recommends” such an attitude. According to Karins, Latvia is developing a system called “total defense”, in which all the country’s efforts are directed towards expanding military capacity. Efforts include all sectors of civil society, thus requiring a system of total mobilization within which mandatory military service is vital. … continue

The real lesson here is that the sanctions on Iran are costing General Electric not just its current business but untold future business opportunities that are simply gone. All in the service of wars for Israel.

You’re assuming the US doesn’t have its own reasons (completely unrelated to Israel) for not wanting a nuclear armed Iran… That would be a wrong assumption!…

Funny way of winning… Last time I checked both the US and Israel were doing much better economically then Iran… Also, their citizens enjoy a much higher standard of living… There’s one thing that Iran has which neither the US nor Israel have: huge parades where “death to Iran” is chanted… Whereas Iran has such parades where “death to big satan (US)” and “death to the little satan (Israel)” are chanted…

You must have MANY websites where your unwelcome ilk wants you… you are the odd man out.. and, quite frankly, we hear enough of your lies on t.v. if we want to turn it on… I don’t.. their words and deeds make me want to puke. Don’t worry tho scub… GOD doesn’t need you to tell HIM when to move His Righteous hand… He has it all planned out. Remember? We must NEVER forget what evil did to Heaven and Gods beloved family. THAT is what THIS is ALL about.
