Iran Warns Europe Against Oil Embargo

摘要

Iran’s oil minister downplayed the possibility of a European Union embargo on imports of Iranian crude oil, saying the proposed ban would cause more damage for the eurozone countries than Iran itself. Speaking to reporters via an interpreter on the sidelines of the World Petroleum Congress in Doha, Rostam Ghassemi said he “doubted” an EU import ban would be put into effect. “They are very wise,” he said of the 27-member body.
