[Satellite TODAY 07-30-12] The Israel Law Center issued a statement July 26 accusing U.K. mobile satellite telecommunications operator Inmarsat of violating U.S. sanctions by providing guidance to Iranian tankers and military vessels.

   The Israel Law Center said it sent a letter to warn Inmarsat of its alleged violation.
   “We will not tolerate Inmarsat or any corporations profiting from the blood of innocent people,” Israel Law Center Founder Nitsana Darshan-Leitner said in a statement. “Anything short of immediate and decisive action on our part would be akin to acceptance. It is a simple issue of justice — Inmarsat must uphold its legal obligations in compliance with U.S. Treasury regulations and immediately cease its support for Iran.”
   The Israel Law Center added that it had filed suit against Inmarsat in a U.S. District Court in June 2011, alleging the company was supporting ships seeking to breach Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza.
