EU oil embargo against Iran

European Union nations have agreed on an oil embargo against Iran as
part of sanctions over its nuclear program. Diplomats in Brussels said
that EU foreign ministers would officially adopt the measures, hashed
out by member countries' 27 ambassadors, later on Monday. The measures
include an immediate embargo on new contracts with Tehran for crude
oil and petroleum products, while existing ones must be brought to an
end by July 1. EU diplomats are calling the measure part of a twin
track approach toward Iran: increase sanctions to discourage what they
suspect is Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons but emphasize at the same
time the international community's willingness to talk. EU foreign
policy chief Catherine Ashton said she hoped financial sanctions would
persuade Tehran to return to negotiations with Western powers, which
she represents in talks with Iran.
