Iran may ban imports of all products from Europe as an answer to the
European Union (EU) which has voted against oil imports from Tehran.
Nasser
Sudani, deputy chairman of the parliamentary committee on energy, said a
bill worked out by parliament stipulated an immediate cease of oil
exports to the EU, without waiting for the coming into force of the
EU-initiated ban.
It also "obliges the government to ban import
of all goods from the states which imposed sanctions against our
country", Sudani told Press TV.
The EU voted last week to ban oil
imports from Iran. The move came after Tehran announced it had launched
a nuclear enrichment programme at a well-protected underground facility
near the holy Shia city of Qom.
Sudani also said the EU
sanctions will hit Europe itself because Western countries had no other
sources to compensate their oil demand.
The sanctions were likely
to hike oil prices, and Europe will have to pay more as it will buy
Iranian oil through mediators, he said
