U.S. Has Sold Over a Million Barrels of Iranian Oil Seized As Part of Sanctions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Justice Department said this week the U.S. has sold over a million
barrels of Iranian fuel seized by civil forfeiture as part of its
sanctions campaign. U.S. officials say they seized the oil last year
from tankers headed from Iran to Venezuela. The money will be
transferred to the U.S. Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund,
according to a Justice Department spokesperson.
