UAE Closes “Dual Use” Iran Trade…..
“The United Arab Emirates has closed down 40 international and local firms as part of a crackdown on companies that violate UN sanctions on Iran, a newspaper reported on Monday. These companies have been dealing in "dual-use and dangerous materials banned under UN resolutions and the nuclear non-proliferation treaty," the Gulf News reported quoting an unnamed UAE official. "Operations of any company in the UAE proved to have connections with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, other entities or individuals subject to the UN asset freeze will immediately be shut down," the official said……..A Western diplomat said last week that Dubai authorities succumbed to US pressure on the federal government in Abu Dhabi to prohibit any goods bound for Iran that could have dual civilian and military use…..” Reports Middle East Online which seems to be close to the UAE, especially Abu Dhabi.
