Well I was surprised to read this one - will you be? Shell Oil has stopped sales of gasoline to Iran! Apparently they stopped selling in 2009 but other giants as well have ceased their sales. A spokesman for shell stated that they would follow any sanctions that may be placed into effect as well.
Not to get into the political arena but I was shocked. I am torn on my opinion on this subject. On one hand based on the way that Iran is playing with their nuclear program, I think those who can should make them think twice about what they are doing. Iran does not have the best history when it comes to humanity the way most of us believe. Not that that makes them wrong but when it is at the cost of people, then I have an issue.
On the other hand, growing up in the land of the free, who is anyone else to judge what they do? That is not our job. If it affects us directly (which it could) then sanctions should be placed on them. A huge company (or several) like Shell could have a serious effect on Iran. Would that only back them into a corner more?
