IRI refuses to deliver oil to Greece

A Greek tanker returned home unloaded after Iran refrained from supplying crude oil to the crisis hit European state, according to Fars News Agency. Iran refrained from supplying the 500,000-barrel cargo to the Greek tanker which was due to deliver it to Hellenic Petroleum refinery. The development came days after Iranian Oil Minister Rostam Qassemi called on the European countries to make a final decision on oil imports from Iran, warning that they will be sanctioned by Tehran otherwise. Iran has recently imposed a ban on oil exports to Britain and France as the main two states which pushed the EU to ratify sanctions on oil imports from Iran
