A complete European Union oil embargo on Iran over its nuclear programme comes into force on Sunday, but the Islamic Republic has already found some ways of circumventing the sanctions.
The Pacific islands of Tuvalu have some 11,000 inhabitants on a total of 26sq km (10 square miles) of land.
Few Iranians can find the tiny state on the map or have even heard of it, but out of a fleet of 39 Iranian oil tankers, 15 now fly the Tuvaluan flag.
