Tārīkh-i naft-i Īrān va Khāvar-i miyānah by Idrīs Shiyānī offers a comprehensive exploration of the petroleum industry's origins and its monumental impact on Īrān and the broader Middle East.

It meticulously breaks down the historical trajectories of oil extraction and economic policy across key nations, including Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates, while assessing the overarching role of OPEC. By contextualising the economic, political, and social transformations driven by fossil fuels, this volume serves as a vital academic resource for students of history and geopolitical studies, providing deep insights into the resource that has decisively shaped the modern geopolitical landscape of the region.
