WASHINGTON — The United States has suggested that Turkey could come under sanctions for its energy cooperation with Iran.
The State Department has criticized Turkey for its agreement for natural gas cooperation with Teheran. A senior official pointed out that Congress was working on legislation that would sanction Ankara or others that help develop Iran's energy sector.
"The U.S. government's policy is that countries should not be stimulating their companies to be involved in oil and gas investment in Iran," Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns said.
