| Turkey and China help Iran on fuel supplies
09-07-10
Friendly powers in the international arena are helping Iran get fuel
supplies after the US passed unilateral sanctions that aim to hinder
Tehran's fuel imports.
The Islamic Republic is buying around half of its July gasoline imports
from Turkey and the rest from Chinese sellers, oil traders said, as most
other suppliers have stopped selling due to the US sanctions.
Turkish refiner Tupras began supplying gasoline to Iran in June after a
hiatus of at least 18 months, trade sources said, just days after Turkey
and Brazil brokered a nuclear fuel swap plant with Tehran.
Western powers rejected the plan, and Turkey and Brazil responded by
voting against the fourth round of sanctions on Iran at the UN security
council.
China, one of Iran's main trade partners and a permanent member of the
security council, signed up to the UN sanctions. But before it did so,
Beijing demanded the measures avoid targeting Tehran's oil and gas
industries.
Earlier, China denounced the United States for imposing its own
sanctions on Iran.
