US Sanctions Drive Squeezes Gasoline Shipments to Iran

摘要

US-led efforts to introduce tougher sanc- tions are playing havoc with Iran’s gasoline imports by forcing more companies to halt supplies — direct deliveries, at least — and driving up the price Iran has to pay to exor- bitant levels. “Sanctions are making the busi- ness more and more difficult,” a Mideast- Gulf based trader says, while adding that Iran has no option but to continue import- ing at current levels of around 120,000 bar- rels per day to meet domestic demand.
