Iran cuts oil supply to Germany ahead of upcoming nuclear talks with West
Iran’s official Press TV said the country has halted oil exports to Germany, a day after Tehran stopped crude exports to Spain and Greece, in an apparent move to strengthen its position ahead of crucial talks with world powers later this week.
The station says in a report Wednesday that Iran has cut the sale of crude to Germany as part of Tehran’s pre-emptive retaliation over an EU embargo that is to go into effect in July.
