NEW YORK, Oct 04, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) today applauded the European oil firms Total, Statoil, Eni, and Royal Dutch Shell for pledging to comply with U.S. sanctions and end investments in Iran, but called for further action. These companies must end all business dealings in Iran.
It was reported last week by The Guardian that Royal Dutch Shell has continued its trade in crude oil with Iran. UANI calls on Royal Dutch Shell to clarify and make transparent the full extent and nature of its business in Iran.
Responding to the actions of these companies, UANI President, Ambassador Mark D. Wallace said:
We applaud Total, Statoil, Eni, and Royal Dutch Shell for ending their investments in Iran, but we call for further action. Total, Statoil, Eni, and Royal Dutch Shell must halt all business in Iran. By cutting off Iran’s access to oil and gas supplies and development capabilities, these companies can limit the funding that Iran can divert to its nuclear weapons program. These European firms must recognize that their decisions to conduct business in Iran affect Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons. In particular, Royal Dutch Shell must come clean and make transparent the full extent of and risks associated with its business in Iran.
UANI has been at the forefront of the campaign to pressure companies to end their business in Iran. UANI maintains on its website the Iran Business Registry (IBR), a list of companies that have been reported to do business in Iran. On January 12, 2010, UANI launched the “Iran Disclosure Project,” an initiative to identify publicly-traded companies that have business dealings in Iran and ensure that such companies adequately inform investors of the legal and financial peril associated with such dealings. Through the Iran Disclosure Project, UANI has targeted such companies as Royal Dutch Shell, Caterpillar, Ingersoll Rand, KPMG, and Honeywell to disclose the full extent of their business in Iran.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
