EU undeterred by threat on oil supply

HONG KONG - The European Union trade commissioner brushed off on Thursday the potential impact of any Iranian suspension of oil supplies saying such a threat would not sway Europe from its opposition to Iran acquiring nuclear weapons.

Iran's English language Press TV had said Iran had halted oil deliveries to France, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Netherlands and Spain - its biggest EU customers - in retaliation for an EU ban on Iranian crude due to take effect in July.

But Iran's Oil Ministry denied the state media report.
