Am I misunderstanding, or are you suggesting that proceeds from the sale could end up in Iranian hands?
I am not suggesting that this particular transaction might benefit Iran, but I am pointing out that Dubai facilitates a lot of sanctions avoidance for the Iranians in general. Dubai is regarded by many in the West as friendly, but Dubai’s actions suggest otherwise.
