Voting on bill to halt oil shipments to EU later this week, expected to pass - Polidicks

[release] [quote] [img]http://www.astreetjournalist.com/wp-content/uploads/Iran-Parliament.jpg[/img] The law to be debated in Iran's parliament on Sunday could halt exports of oil to the European Union as early as next week, Vice-Chairman of the Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Hossein Ibrahimi told FNA on Friday. "On Sunday, the parliament will have to approve a 'double emergency' bill calling for a halt in the export of Iranian oil to Europe starting next week," Ibrahimi said. Parliament is pushing for the export ban to deny the EU a 6-month phase-in of the embargo on Iranian oil that the bloc agreed on Monday as part of a raft of tough new western sanctions aimed at forcing Iran to curb its civilian nuclear program. Also, member of the Parliament's Energy Commission Moayed Hosseini Sadr told FNA that "if the deputies arrive at the conclusion that the Iranian oil exports to Europe must be halted, the parliament will not delay a moment (in passing the bill)". "If Iran's oil exports to Europe, which is about 18 percent (of Iran's total oil exports) come to a halt, the Europeans will surely be taken by surprise, and will understand the power of Iran and will realize that the Islamic establishment will not succumb to the Europeans' policies," he said.

If this passes expect price rise.

I thought the EU already decided to not accept oil from Iran as part of a sanction.

Hahahaha! It's silly that they think this will work, but it sure is ballsy. I guess they've decided to go down fighting rather than just cutting their losses.

[QUOTE=5killer;34421891]I thought the EU already decided to not accept oil from Iran as part of a sanction.[/QUOTE] No, and everyone who agreed with you is dumb. The EU is banning it in 6 months so they have time to get other contracts. Iran is going to stop exporting to EU this week to create a oil shortage within the EU and jack up prices. You know how much oil is consumed each day?

This is bad. I suppose Iran is just showing the world how big their balls are, telling them to back off. Like, I suppose, America being a Jock or something in a high school, bullying the nerdy kid (Iran) for lunch money until one day the nerdy kid talks back, telling him to go away, then theres a tense stand off, and the Jock backs off. ...I should be a political comic writer.

Holy fuck, petrol is already expensive as fuck over here in germany! :saddowns:

Say what you want about Iran, but their Parliament is snazzy as fuck.

Fuck no, we need that oil. At first I wasn't worried because I rarely drive and could live without driving at all for a while but then I remembered that products are delivered by trucks and stuff will rise in price. Fuck.

Whew, now we have reason to charge in and take what's rightfully ours.

Well they are in a position to do this, let a country have it's freedoms. Even is it's a ass move, we ourselves have imposed sanctions on them. Why should we be angry? The same reason they are.
