Did Cheney's "Halliburton Co " Violate US Sanctions Against Iran?

[brianon]

Dick Cheney's former company Halliburton Co. has opened an office in
Tehran, Iran. Although the office is under a foreign subsidiary registered
in the Cayman Islands, Halliburton's Iranian operations could violate US
sanctions. The law states that "no U.S. person may approve or facilitate
the entry into or performance of transactions or contracts with Iran by a
foreign subsidiary of a U.S. firm that the U.S. person is precluded from
performing directly. Similarly, no U.S. person may facilitate such
transactions by unaffiliated foreign persons." The brochure of the
Halliburton subsidiary states that it has provided services for two
drilling projects in the Iranian sector of the Persian Gulf. How recent
were these projects? Cheney left Halliburton just last July. In 1995
President Clinton signed an executive order prohibiting "new investments
[in Iran]", or providing services "that would benefit the Iranian oil
industry". Punishment for such offenses is up to $500,000 for companies,
and up to 10 years imprisonment for individuals. We demand an
investigation!

the 1 person conversation.

An especially depressing piece by the FDD’s Emanuele Ottolenghi, in the past a staunch supporter of international sanctions efforts against Iran who issues regular updates on their implementation, has brought us back to the issue today (sooner than we intended).
