US Trying to engage Iran on 1 to 1 Basis, As Iran threatens to Use Oil as a weapon , with out Iranian Oil World Economy may Crash<\/strong>

JNN 29 Oct 2012 TEHRAN \u2013 The White House says it is prepared to talk one-on-one with Tehran to find a diplomatic settlement to the impasse over Iran\u2019s nuclear program, but there\u2019s no agreement now to meet, the Associated Press reported on Sunday. <\/p>\n

The report did not give more details.<\/p>\n

The New York Times reported on October 22, citing Obama administration officials, that the United States and Iran had agreed in principle to one-on-one negotiations on Iran\u2019s nuclear program, but both the White House and Iran denied the report.<\/p>\n

Iranian lawmaker and former oil minister Masoud Mirkazemi has warned the Western countries that Iran may use energy as a political tool against them if they seek to use it as such against the Islamic Republic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Westerners should know that if they want to use this tool for political purposes, the possibility exists that one day this tool will be used against them, and then they will suffer,\u201d the chairman of Iran\u2019s Majlis Energy Committee said on Sunday.<\/p>\n

He referred to the sanctions imposed against Iran\u2019s energy sector and said that despite the bans, \u201cIran\u2019s oil sales continue and if European countries do not buy our country\u2019s oil, there are numerous other countries that are buyers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Iranian lawmaker said if the sanctions could have affected Iran\u2019s oil exports, they would have had the effect by now; but the country\u2019s crude sales have never stopped.<\/p>\n

On October 15, EU foreign ministers agreed on a new round of sanctions against Iran in spite of a UN warning against the humanitarian ramifications of the bans that had already been imposed.<\/p>\n

The illegal US-engineered sanctions were imposed based on the unfounded allegation that Iran is pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program.<\/p>\n

Iran rejects the allegations, arguing that as a committed signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, it has the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Oil Ministry Spokesman Alireza Nikzad-Rahbar says the Islamic Republic will reciprocate any further Western sanctions against the country, adding that the Iranian crude is indispensable to the world energy markets. …more<\/a><\/p>\n
