Iran has plenty of oil.

The problem is that US sanctions make it difficult for them to sell it. And the US is far too busy genuflecting in front of Netanyahu for that to change.

The solution is for Iran to stop spending money exporting terrorism to the Middle East and to stop spending money repressing its people. Also give up any aspirations of getting nukes (get rid of the highly enriched uranium and most of the centrifuges). That would let them have a much better relationship with the West, particularly Europe. Would make the country a lot more prosperous.

Of course, the current regime isn't interested in doing that. The situation is bad enough in Iran itself protests/riots happen, including the most recent wave.
