RFERL:

Iran’s oil minister says the French oil-and-natural-gas company Total has "officially left" Iran amid threats by the United States to impose sanctions against companies that do business in the country.

Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zangeneh was quoted by state television on August 20 as saying Total had officially "left the contract to develop the South Pars Gas project."

Zangeneh said a "process" was under way to replace Total with another company.
