U S oil firms were major customers of Iran while pressing nations to shun Tehran. Conoco’s billion dollar offshore Iran deal forced Clinton to act. Officials note the move stems from embarrassment over U S hypocrisy as Conoco’s Dutch unit advances Iran’s oil capacity and a new executive order targets financing of such projects. The State Department estimates U S companies buy about a quarter of Iran’s 2.5 million barrels daily production.
