Turkey continues fuel exports to Iran despite US sanctions

Ankara will continue to permit Turkish companies to sale gasoline to Iran, despite US sanctions against fuel exports to Iran, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
"If the preference of the private sector is to sell these products to Iran, we will help them," said Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz.
Tupras, Turkey's sole oil refiner and gasoline exporter, expressed little fear of retribution from US Treasury officials who have the power to ban sanctions violators from accessing the US banking system or receiving US contracts.
"For us, Iran is more important than America because we get crude oil from them. We don't get anything from America," a Tupras official was quoted as saying.
