SHANA -- Iran�s Minister of Petroleum Bijan Zangeneh said Tuesday Italy and Greece had stopped buying oil from Iran despite being granted waivers from US sanctions.

�Among the Europeans, except for Turkey, no other nation has purchased oil from Iran. Greece and Italy refuse to buy Iran�s oil despite winning waivers. Nor do they respond to our correspondence,� said the minister.

He said the US had embarked on a unilateral war against Iran�s petroleum industry.

�They intend to zero our export revenues and if any revenue was made they would block any money transfer,� he added.

Pressed by journalists to say how much oil Iran was exporting after the US reimposed oil sanctions on Iran last November, Zangeneh said: �I don�t announce any figure about oil exports.�
The minister also said he would not reveal how the ministry would skirt the US sanctions.
