Iran is an oil country. Iran has oil and gas resources far. Iran says oil reserves to oil fields in Iran. For the extraction of oil reserves, Iran has invested much. Many countries have invested onIranian oil.
Same reason the US does. Iran is trying to develop nuclear power, to save oil.
Yes, the united states does receive oil from Iran. However a very small percentage due to the poor relationship between the two countries.
No, it is not. Iran does not hold most of the world's oil, but Iran is certainly a large oil producer.
The United States and many other western countries buys oil from the Islamic Republic.

Iran's oil industry is actually relatively developed. The reason that it is not as developed as in some other countries is that Iran's economy is strongly damaged by the UN sanctions placed upon it (primarily by the US and other Western countries).
In Iran. With all of that oil.
Iran rank Third in oil reserves in the world
Iran, along with Saudi Arabia, is the world leader in oil and petrolium. The nation floats on a reserve of oil.
Not explicitly, but oil money may be used in Iran to fund it.
Un sanctions plus additional sanctions by the US preventing iran trading it's oil. Meanwhile those imposing these sanctions think that they can ship oil from other oil producing countries thru the strait of hormuz which is Iran's territorial waters. Iran has every right to close it! Any other nation would retaliate the same way.
