Brasil's trade with Iran appears to still be a 'triangular' arrangement of exporting beef and sugar via Dubai.

Why is this newsworthy?

Australia has ~US$6 billion worth of trade with South America alone. Nearly double for Latin America.

I guess we can be thankful that CFK focuses her attention on Iran and not Australia.
