Iranian Oil minister urges EU states to change conduct

Speaking to reporters at a press conference, Qasemi said Tehran has officially cut off its oil exports to London and Paris.

He said that Tehran was closely watching the way the European states were dealing with Iran.

The minister hoped that a next round of talks between Iran and representatives of western states in Baghdad, Iraq (set for May 23, 2012) would follow up the agreements reached between the two sides in Istanbul, Turkey.

“If the sanctions currently imposed against Iran would not be removed and if new sanctions be imposed against the country
instead, this would seriously turbulent the energy market,” said the minister.
