TEHRAN | Wed Feb 15, 2012 8:30am EST

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's Oil Ministry denied state media reports on the Islamic state stopping its crude exports to six European countries on Wednesday.

"We deny this report ... If such a decision is made, it will be announced by Iran's Supreme National Security Council," a spokesman for the ministry told Reuters.

Iran's English language Press TV had earlier said Tehran has stopped exporting oil to France, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Netherlands and Spain.

Well then, that was exceptionally NOT well played by the west. Oooops!

China, India, Turkey will get all that sweet black gold. Europe will either capitulate before Iran, return to Russian influence OR we goto WAR.

Good move barry, you twit.
