TEHRAN (FNA) – A senior Iranian legislator downplayed the effects of the EU and the US oil ban against Iran, and said the European countries are the real loser of their dangerous oil game with Tehran.
“Europe is the real loser of the oil ban against Iran,” Abdolmohammad Baba Ahmadi told FNA on Tuesday.
“Iran is one of the most important exporters of oil to Europe and if this link is cut, the European states will face serious problems for supplying their needed fuel,” he added.
Baba Ahmadi reiterated that the West should be aware that it cannot reach its desirable results through sanctions and threats.
After months of debates, the EU member states eventually 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.
Following the decision, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton claimed that the sanctions are aimed at pressuring Iran to return to talks over its nuclear program.
Despite Ashton’s claims, Iran has always underlined its preparedness to resume talks with the West but has meantime stressed that it will never accept any precondition for such talks.
After the EU oil ban against Iran, members of the Iranian parliament finalized a draft bill on cutting the country’s oil exports to the European states in retaliation for the EU move.
“The bill has 4 articles, including one which states that the Islamic Republic of Iran will cut all oil exports to the European states until they end their oil sanctions against the country,” Vice-Chairman of the parliament’s Energy Commission Nasser Soudani told FNA on Saturday.
Elaborating on the other parts of the draft bill, he said another article requires the government to stop imports of goods from those countries which are a party to these sanctions against Iran.
