Iran allegedly cut off crude oil supplies to 6 European countries, including Italy, as well as Holland, France, Greece, Spain and Portugal. The measure would be the reaction of the Tehran government to the gradual oil embargo imposed by the EU as a sanction for Ahmadinejad's nuclear plan. The news was reported by the Press TV website.
The ambassadors of the six nations affected by the measure, including the Italian Bradanini, were invited to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, where they were received by Hassan Tadjik, director for Western Europe of the ministry.
