After months of debates, the EU member states obeyed the US policies and reached an agreement in their meeting on January 23 to sanction oil imports from Iran and freeze the assets of Iran's Central Bank within the EU. The Iranian oil ministry in a statement late January downplayed the effects of the US and EU's unilateral oil sanctions against Tehran, and said such embargoes will merely harm the European economies and oil consuming countries. European sanctions against Iran's oil exports will affect the world economy and hurt European and non-European countries, the statement said. Later, Tehran summoned the ambassadors of Italy, Spain, France, Greece, Portugal and the Netherlands to protest at the EU's unilateral sanctions against Tehran over its peaceful nuclear program, and warned them that it would soon stop oil exports to these countries if they do not reverse their decision. After the EU's decision to embargo Iranian oil supplies, Tehran stopped exports to France, Britain and, of course very recently, Greece. Following Tehran's oil sanctions against the three and its warning to other EU members, oil prices started soaring in the world markets. End/m ]]> Iran Thu, 12 Apr 2012 06:40:22 GMT http://bfnews.ir/vdcc40qp.2bq1s8y-a2.html http://bfnews.ir/vdcdno0k.yt0sf6me2y.html Bfnews: According to the CNNmoney survey published on Wednesday, nine out of 18 participant economists said that the rising oil prices is now a bigger threat to the US economy than Washington’s ongoing gridlock over budget and fear of China’s economic slowdown. This is while only five participant economists cited the European debt crisis as the biggest risk to the US economy. On December 31, 2011, Washington imposed a new round of sanctions on Iran's financial and energy sectors seeking to penalize other countries for importing Iranian crude or doing business with its central bank. The EU followed suit by imposing similar sanctions on January 23, banning member states from importing crude oil from Iran or dealing with the country’s central bank. Iran's decision to impose countersanctions on the European countries, including halting oil exports to six European countries, has led to a hike in global oil prices, pushing gasoline prices in the US and the UK to record highs. The rising gasoline prices have become a major issue in the US presidential election campaign. Tehran has so far halted oil exports to France, Britain, Greece and Germany and is also considering halting crude sales to Italy. The US, Israel and some of their allies accuse Tehran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear energy program. End/m ]]> Iran Thu, 12 Apr 2012 06:40:06 GMT http://bfnews.ir/vdcdno0k.yt0sf6me2y.html http://bfnews.ir/vdcbzabs.rhbf8pe4ur.html Bfnews: In a statement issued Tuesday afternoon, the Iranian Intelligence Ministry said its forces "have discovered one of the biggest terror and sabotage networks of the Quds Occupying Regime (Israel) and protected cells of its operatives and arrested groups of criminal terrorists and mercenaries cooperating with them".
