Oil giant Shell said on Friday it is immediately withdrawing from Syria following the EU’s decision to impose tough new sanctions.
‘Our main priority lies with the safety of our workers. We hope the situation soon improves for all Syrians,’ a Shell spokesman told Dow Jones newswire.
Shell produces some 12,000 barrels of oil a day in the Middle Eastern country – 0.5% of total production. It is also involved in exploration in the south of the country.
Meanwhile in Iran-a-tolla ….
“A group of Iranian diplomats who were expelled from Britain have arrived back in Tehran, Iranian media have said. A group of supporters chanting slogans such as “Death to Britain” were at the airport to greet them but the diplomats were hustled away by back corridors.”
Out the back door and away for ‘de-briefing’ no doubt … get them back to thinking about how wonderful Iran is compared to that horrible Britain they had to put up with for so long. 🙂
