Japan’s JXTG may soon stop Iranian oil imports

摘要

Tokyo-JXTG Nippon Oil & Energy, Japan’s larg- est refiner, may be forced to stop imports of Iranian crude oil loading in September without clear guidance from the government on the impact of US sanctions on Iranian oil. The refining arm of JXTG Holdings will decide this month whether to continue importing Iranian oil cargoes loading in September, Yasushi Onoda, director and senior vice president of corporate planning, told reporters Wednesday.
