The United States warned that it was launching a legal review of a gas deal signed earlier this week between Iran and Switzerland to see whether it violates terms of US sanctions, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported. "We don't think that now is the time for people to be investing in Iran, not only in its petroleum or natural gas area, but in any sector of its economy," said State Department spokesman Tom Casey.

The UN is an american run sham used to legitimize americas policing of the world. Likely membership isnt entirely voluntary due to economic pressures etc. Hopefully switzerlands good standing will help protect it from the us dictatorship and do the best for its own goddamn country and not the best for america

lol, the swiss have a hard on for selling gas to anti-semites. Hey everyone be on the look out for cash flow fluxes in swiss bank accounts.

Now as this article doesn't mention recently UN, not US sanctions were placed on Iran. The Swiss as UN members are supposed to comply with these sanctions.



The US hasn't been complying with UN sanctions so why should anyone else?

Don't say the following:

"Well, uh duh, we take our tank and umm our bsg238592agdig missile launcher with a range of like.. uhhh planes shoot something.. something goes BOOM.. so uh..prepare for anal rape...."

...Because I wrote '(honestly)'.

The entire U.N. is nothing but an elaborate unregulated Ponzi scheme!
It is a vehicle for corruption on all levels.
The U.S. needs to kick the U.N. out...send them to Brussels, Greenland I don't give a fuck...and we need to get out of it. A total joke.

@ShanusMaximus So what my point still stands. This article proves nothing. Besides he is another one of those morons trying to say blame all Germans for something a few did. Also he is trying to give dead peoples money to their likely lazy and already rich descendants. The way I see the Statute of limitations is long gone.
