The US Senate has backed legislation allowing President Barack Obama
to extend sanctions against Iran. The new sanctions would target
those who export fuel to Iran. The Senate bill targets non-Iranian
companies that export fuel to Iran or help expand Tehran's oil refining
capacities by denying them US loans and other financial assistance.
Azerbaijan~Rs state oil company (SOCAR) is deeply alarmed by the bill
as Azerbaijan has provided gas to Iran in the previous year and the
sides have agreements to cooperate in 2010 also.
