EU officials try to agree on Iran oil embargo
Officials from the 27 countries that make up the European Union are trying to thrash out an agreement on banning the purchase of Iranian oil in hopes of choking off funding for the country's nuclear program.
The official said that among the unresolved issues is how long existing contracts for the purchase of Iranian oil would remain exempt from the ban. Officials from EU countries are meeting in Brussels to discuss the issues but are not expected to reach an agreement Thursday. (AP)
