Holland: Gas Companies Refuse to Fuel Iranian Foreign Minister's Plane
(Jerusalem Post) Benjamin Weinthal - Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki dropped his planned visit to the Netherlands on Tuesday because U.S. sanctions meant his Iran Air plane might be refused fuel. "Mr. Mottaki canceled his visit because the government of the Netherlands could not guarantee that his plane would be refueled by private fuel firms at Schiphol airport, which follow U.S. sanctions," Ward Bezemer, a spokesman for the Dutch Foreign Ministry, told the Jerusalem Post.
