Spain is the great sufferer of the EUs recent sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran, said Spains new ambassador to Tehran.
"Spain suf
fers the heaviest damage from the continuation of EU-backed embargoes against Iran and has always expressed support for the resumption of talks and negotiations between Tehran and P5+1 in order to clear up misunderstandings between the two sides," Pedro Antonio Villena Prez said at a meeting with Head of the Majlis National Secur
ity and Foreign Policy Committee Alaeddin Boroujerdi on Tuesday.
Villena Prez stressed that Spain is not among the countries which seek to aggravate bans on Iranian oil and banking sector and believed that negotiation is the principal means of resolving Irans nuclear issue.
The EU formally imposed an oil embargo on Iran and agreed to a freeze on the assets of the Central Bank of Iran on January 23, but existing contracts will be honored until July 1.
