Shell resumes gasoline sales to Iran

The European energy giant, Royal Dutch Shell, which had stopped gasoline sales to Iran resumes business with Tehran after a six-month hiatus.

Shell delivered 30,000 tons of gasoline to the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas last month, the International Oil Daily reported.

The company’s last delivery to Iran was in October 2009.

Shell was among the group of international oil companies, which stopped selling refined petroleum to Iran in March 2010 following the US-led campaign to impose tougher UN sanction against the country.

India’s Reliance Industries, Russia’s Lukoil, Switzerland’s Glencore and the Malaysian Petronas are among the firms that cut ties with Iran.
