US Giants in Iran

GE is the largest U.S. company currently operating in Iran. Haliburton and ConocoPhillips, which were in Iran, have pulled up stakes and moved on. Others still in Iran (or who have recently conducted business in that country) according to the American Enterprise Institute, include: Chicago Bridge & Iron, Foster Wheeler, Coca Cola, and PepsiCo.

The funny part of all this, is that the Seyyeds themselves who would be the first to object to doing business with the US, don't know.

In fact the story is quite simple. The giant companies in the world are running this world, and no government can stand in their way, starting with the US government itself. If GE wanted to remove the Seyyeds they could. It is very simple for them.

So think, what is it that they want to prevent from happening in Iran? The answer is another massive giant like GE but made in Iran. The last thing these companies want is for another dozen equivalents of those in Japan and Korea popping out of Western Asia. Western Asia is next door to Europe and the business opportunities and advantages are immense.

So they love having a bunch of weirdos turning Iran into a pariah state that just sells the raw materials and buys stuff from them only.

Switzerland destroys US sanctions on Iran's Seyyeds

Switzerland's foreign minister was travelling to Tehran on Sunday to sign a natural gas purchase contract between Iran and a Swiss utility, a deal she said could help ease Europe's dependence on Russian gas.

So what is the US going to do now? It can't stop the major banks and finance houses in EU with a fait a complis choice. The US can't say, "Ok guys, you either stop trading with the US, or stop trading with the Seyyeds in Iran".

After all the money from that deal would go straight into centrifuges etc etc.

Iranian Business in Dubai

"There are 48 European banks based here that have started imposing restrictions on companies that do business with Iran, even though they know the merchants very well and have a history with them," says Hadi Motameni, president of the Iranian Business Council. "When businesses don't get loans from banks, they can't function."

It is about time that Iranians were a little more responsible about their dealings with the Seyyeds.
