European Union nations have agreed on an oil embargo against Iran as part of sanctions over its nuclear program.
Diplomats said in Brussels the EU foreign ministers later Monday would
officially adopt the measures that were hashed out by the 27
ambassadors. The measures include an immediate embargo on new contracts
for crude oil and petroleum products while existing ones are allowed to
run until July.
"I am confident that the EU will give a resolute answer today to Iran's
refusal to fulfill its international obligations on the nuclear
program," German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said ahead of the
official adoption by the foreign ministers.
Iran says its nuclear program is exclusively for peaceful purposes. But
many international officials fear the country is trying to develop
nuclear weapons.
