Energy supply is one of the important factors of economic development. The steady and rapid economic development in our country requires the supply guarantee of oil and gas energy. The Middle East region has abundant oil and gas resources and our energy cooperation with that region will provide strong support for economic development. However, the fact that the political turmoil in the Middle East is a challenge to our country's investment. This paper uses the analytic hierarchy process, and through collection of relevant data consults the literature to sort out the evaluation indexes. Then a summary analysis of these evaluation indicators is given to provide a reference for our country to invest the Middle East oil and gas resources. A conclusion is drawn that the comprehensive risk of oil and gas resources investment in Iran is the lowest.
