PRETORIA,
March 22 (Reuters) - South Africa has suspended almost
all of its oil imports from Iran and intends to abide by a U.S. request to
significantly drop its supplies from the state, a senior diplomat said on
Thursday.
"(To my knowledge), no
Iranian oil is flowing into our country," deputy foreign minister Ebrahim
Ebrahim told a news conference.
"If
there is any, it is very little."
South Africa is on a State Department list of 12
countries that buy Iranian oil and could be subject to U.S. sanctions unless
they significantly cut purchases. (Reporting by Jon Herskovitz, editing by Ed
