FT.com / Middle East - Dubai seeks way round US curbs on Iran trade

Dubai is seeking to facilitate legitimate trade with Iran to counteract the effects of unilateral US sanctions, which have dried up financing for business deals with Tehran.

Following mounting complaints from Dubai merchants, the federal government in the United Arab Emirates and Washington are setting up a committee to clarify the financial sanctions and their scope.

The taskforce will meet for the first time next month, according to people familiar with the matter.
