Spain backs Iran oil embargo despite heavy imports
None
Spain said on Wednesday it will back a possible European Union oil embargo against Iran even though it would inflict "huge damage" on its two major oil importers.
Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo said on the eve of Thursday's EU meeting on the issue that Spain would give its support to an embargo that would start July 1. The EU is considering an embargo in the hope of choking off funding for the country's nuclear program. (AP)
