Info:
In June 2010, Tosee Eqtesad Ayandehsazan Company (TEACO) was created as part of the Iranian strategy to circumvent U.S. and international sanctions. EIKO uses TEACO as the primary mechanism to transact, manage, and control all of the international companies under EIKO’s control. To maintain the appearance of being a private company, TEACO is ostensibly owned by private Iranian businessmen and investors; however TEACO’s board members were all chosen by EIKO. TEACO acts on behalf of EIKO. As of September 2011, EIKO negotiated business deals using TEACO subsidiaries. For example, EIKO used an Iranian subsidiary of TEACO to negotiate a deal with a European company to build a factory in Iran. In these business deals, the TEACO subsidiary directly negotiated with the foreign company. If the foreign company did not move forward with the deal due to sanctions issues, the TEACO subsidiary would have TEACO take over the negotiations, rather than EIKO, because TEACO was less visibly connected to the Government of Iran;

As of December 2010, EIKO transferred Iranian-owned companies located in Central Europe from the EIKO-controlled Iranian company Rey Investment Company to TEACO. TEACO planned to use these central European companies to facilitate international transactions in Europe otherwise prohibited by U.S. and international sanctions. The companies were officially owned by Iranian expatriates with dual Iranian-European citizenship to conceal ties to the Iranian Government, EIKO, TEACO, and Rey Investment Company;
