The oil spill which has in the Gulf Coast area of the United States will take effort to clean up . As the US is primarily the first country to lend a hand in a time of need, many are wondering who will step up to the plate and offer us help in our times of sorrow.
An Iranian state firm that has several oil drilling specialists have offered their assistance to the efforts in the Gulf of Mexico. Despite the tensions between the two countries, the Drilling Company wants to help avert an “ecological disaster.”
Haidar Bahmani, managing director of the National Iranian Drilling Company, said his firm was ready to provide assistance in fighting the spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the Oil Ministry’s website SHANA reported.
The specialists are among the best in the world, capable of controlling even the most complex spills. Given that Iran is one of the world’s largest oil producers, this makes sense.
There’s a debate over whether or not the US should take Iran on their offer. On one hand, we share the same world. The oil spill is devastating and we can take all the help we can get. We have some 210,000 gallons of crude oil pumping into the ocean and creating quite the environmental hazard.
On the other hand, Iran has been a very vocal enemy of the United States. Some people worry about any ulterior motives that may exist.
What do you think? Should the two countries put their differences aside, or should the US pass on the offer.
