Total SA - Business Halt

description

Due to increased political pressure, Total SA has announced that it will cease all new investment into Iran.  Furthermore, should a sanctions bill be passed by the UN, Total will cease all gasoline sales to the Islamic Republic. 

Given the recent UN Security Council sanctions, Total has announced that it halted sales to the Islamic Republic.  Sources inside the company have said that sales stopped in May of 2010.
