Malaysia Warns Iran Over Nuke Pursuit

Jakarta Globe, April 16, 2010

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak confirmed on Thursday his country had cut off gasoline supplies to Iran, warning Tehran it was close to facing new international sanctions over its controversial nuclear program.

Najib’s announcement came three days after he held talks with United States President Barack Obama, who had called for the world to move “boldly and quickly” on tough sanctions against the Islamic republic.

Najib said Malaysia’s state oil company Petronas decided to suspend gasoline supplies after consultations with the government. Petronas is among a small group of non-Chinese oil companies supplying gasoline to Iran.
