customs data more than half of iran s car parts still coming through

Further on yesterday’s story on PSA’s, and by extension GM’s, alleged continuous supply of embargoed car parts to Iran, Bloomberg reports that Iran’s imports of automobile parts decreased by 47.8 percent to $254 million in the two months since March 20.

In other words, more than half of the previous amounts still come through. From March 20 to May 20, Iran imported more than 21,100 tons of car parts, says Bloomberg, citing Iranian newspaper reports based on customs data.

The solution is obvious, ban all Peugeot sales in the USA ... oh wait there is a flaw in my logic

  @CJinSD But then the US government owns 25% of GM. Which means the US government own a hair less than 2% of Peugeot. Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether GM broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests—they did. But you can't hold a whole industry responsible for the behavior of a few, sick perverted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole auto industry and global trade system? And if the whole auto industry and global trade system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our economic institutions in general? I put it to you, isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do what you you want, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America!!!

  @CJinSD Ford also is tied to PSA and BMW and the sanctions should be applied against Rogue Israel not Iran

So theories of yesterday's story being Israeli propaganda were false then?

At least GM isn't selling them weapons, like Reagan did.
