or oil-producing areas are surrounded by water in this case, the Persian Gulf and also the two major rivers in the Middle East (Tigris and Euphrates). Also from the topographical map we can see that the major oil-producing areas are where there is low altitude (near water). We can see why Iran was one of the richest countries in the Middle East as our textbook mentioned. It was a major oil-producing area. Yes, oil did lead to many conflicts and instability in the middle east, this instability usually came from outsiders who tried to take over the oil reserves. The money oil helped people in the middle east gain, lured many outsiders which led to increased conflicts within the middle east. Even internal invasions occurred in the middle east. In 1190 Kuwait was invaded by Iraq. How come? Perhaps because Kuwait is a major oil-producing area.
