USA Today: Exxon Did Business With Iran, Syria Under Tillerson

ExxonMobil did business with Iran, Syria, and Sudan while the company was under Secretary of State nominee Rex Tillerson, Securities and Exchange Commission filings show, USA Today reported.

According to the explosive report, the sales took place from 2003 to 2005 when the three countries were under U.S. sanctions as state sponsors of terrorism.

The sanctions would hamstring U.S. companies from doing business with those countries, but ExxonMobil conducted its business through the Europe-based Infineum, a company in which ExxonMobil owns a 50 percent share.

Tillerson is the one who could run into trouble or maybe all of this can be explained away.  The charges if true look serious.
