Oil major Royal Dutch Shell has stopped gasoline sales to Iran, oil traders said on Wednesday, the latest addition to a growing list of firms that have halted supplies under threat of future U.S. sanctions.
The Anglo-Dutch oil firm will join the likes of BP, Reliance Industries, and independent Swiss trader Glencore, among suppliers that have either stopped fuel sales to Iran or have made a decision not to enter into new trading agreements with the world’s fifth largest oil exporter.
“Shell has stopped selling gasoline to Iran, we have not seen them there for a while now,” a gasoline trader said.
A Shell spokesman said: “Shell currently does not supply gasoline to Iran.”
