The relationship between Shell and Iran has in fact continued unabated for many years, while the fanatical Iranian regime has been busy using the funds generated to supply roadside bombs to kill and maim Nato soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan and fund its Nuclear Bomb program. Oil revenue is crucial to Iran.” (Extract from our article “Skirting sanctions on Iranian crude“)

A version of this article appeared in print on November 19, 2011, on page A8 of the New York edition.
