"Giant Turkish steel manufacturer Kardemir, a publicly traded company, appears to have received questionable wire transfers from a third country via JP Morgan financial services that should have raised red flags but somehow fell through the cracks. Kardemir made a deal in 2013 with Iranian energy firm Tavana to sell steel products, but the funds were not transferred from Iran; rather they were rerouted from Iraq, a third country, in the amount of $10 million. It was part of what was promised to be a €150 million business deal that would benefit Kardemir in the Iranian market against rivals from China, India and Russia. Although filtering mechanisms for questionable transfers that actually named the Iranian company on the transfer order failed to detect an anomaly, a branch manager at Halkbank triggered a heated discussion at the senior level when asked about the source of the money. Balkan, an avid fan of Khomeini, stepped in to reverse the Halkbank decision to stop the payment." (November 2017)

"TMK, Russia’s largest manufacturer of steel pipes for the oil and gas industry, is in talks to supply Iran’s oil and gas sector as the Islamic Republic ramps up production following the lifting of international sanctions, the company’s senior vice president said Wednesday. 'We have a program under way to supply some pipes through spot sales and are working on a longer-term contract which could include pipes to transport oil and gas as well as produce it,' Vladimir Shmatovich, senior vice president for strategy and business development at TMK. 'Iran is a very important market for us,' he said. The move shows the potential for Iran to have better access to more modern equipment to refurbish its aging oil industry. It also highlights how Russian companies retain a competitive advantage there despite the opening of the country to Western suppliers since sanctions on Iran were lifted in January. TMK was a major supplier of pipes to Iran’s oil industry before sanctions were imposed." (Wall Street Journal, “Russian Maker of Steel Pipes in Talks to Supply Iran’s Oil Industry,” 3/9/2016)
