Singaporean container line PIL has halted calls in Iran due to US sanctions.

The company said it has also ceased acceptance of cargoes in and out of the country.

"This is in conjunction with President Donald J Trump’s announcement on 8 May 2018 to cease the United States' participation in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and to re-impose all sanctions lifted or waived in connection with the JCPOA," it said.
