MNA reported that Iran will certainly stop exporting crude oil to some European Union countries in response to the recent oil embargo on the country.

Mr Rostam Qasemi oil minister of Iran said that a decision by Iran to stop oil exports to some EU countries came after the 27 member bloc agreed to ban oil imports from Iran over its nuclear program. The decision will go into effect on July 1st 2012.

Mr Qasemi said that Iran will decide about the export of oil to some other European countries which have been less hostile to Iran. We are going to decide about the export of oil to the rest of European countries in the future.
