Department of the EU's external action in the EU foreign institutions than diplomats recently revealed to the media, the EU has prohibited its member states to reach an agreement to import natural gas from Iran, adopted by the EU foreign ministers will be held in Luxembourg on the 15th of this as the core of the new Iranian round of sanctions programs.
Analysts pointed out that the EU ban gas "propaganda means thicker, the actual influence is limited, because Iran has no direct export of natural gas to the EU member states, and Iran's natural gas production, primarily to meet domestic demand. Took turns in the Western sanctions suppress under Iran's current economic situation is grim, the EU "ban gas measures against Iran, possibly through a psychological cause further negative impact on the Iranian economy.
"Forbidden gas actually propaganda war
Since the end of 2011, the United States and the European Union has announced sanctions on Iran's banking and oil exports, which led to the Iranian economy continues to worsen. The EU to prepare the introduction of the "forbidden gas" the purpose of the new sanctions is very clear, is to continue to put pressure on Iran to force it to make concessions on the nuclear issue. But analysts believe that, compared to the previous sanction of the banks and the oil industry, measures the impact of the "forbidden gas is much smaller.
Iran is rich in natural gas resources, has proven natural gas reserves of 33.69 trillion cubic meters, accounting for 17% of the total reserves in the world, ranking second in the world. However, according to Iranian media reports, the country's natural gas exports accounted for only 1% of the world.
Moreover, the EU has long been Iran to exclude outside of its natural gas supply chain. Back in July of this year, the EU economic advisor Mehrdad Yi Madi revealed to the outside world, the EU has cut off all channels of Iranian natural gas exports to Europe, the future did not import natural gas from Iran plans.
Iranian Oil Ministry spokesman Nick Zade - Emomali Barr said the 6th EU member states are currently no imports of natural gas from Iran, so the threat is just a "propaganda war".
Analysts believe that although the EU plans to ban gas "sanctions against Iran as Iranian officials said, more like a" propaganda war ", but several rounds of sanctions under pressure from Iran's economy has been under tremendous pressure, the European Union at this time do the sanctions continue to strengthen posture may be Iranians psychological cause greater impact.
