Back off or suffer oil shock: Tehran
AFP, Reuters
March 07, 2005
OIL-rich Iran has raised the stakes in the standoff over its nuclear
program, warning that any attempt to impose sanctions on its activities
would lead to an energy crisis in the US and Europe.
Referring the Islamist state to the UN Security Council, as the US had
urged, would be "playing with fire", Iran's top nuclear official said
yesterday.
"The first to suffer will be Europe and the US themselves," Hassan Rowhani
said at a Tehran conference on nuclear technology and sustainable
development. "(It) would cause problems for the regional energy market, for
the European economy and even more so for the US."
