The OMV Petrol Ofisi Holding A.Ş., a subsidiary of Vitol Investment Partnership Ltd., refused to provide fuel to Iranian airplanes in Turkey, according to reports.
Earlier, Bloomberg reported that U.S. government had agreed to let eight countries, including close allies South Korea and Japan, as well as India, keep buying Iranian oil after it reimposes sanctions on Tehran from next week.
Turkey’s Energy Ministry said on Friday it had heard rumors of waivers but added it had not received written notification of any exemption on buying Iran oil after the United States reimposes sanctions on Tehran on Nov. 5.
Bloomberg also reported that Tüpraş, which is Turkey's largest industrial enterprise, expects for an exemption from U.S. sanctions.
