The German foreign ministry on Tuesday told The Jerusalem Post that the federal government has not engaged in talks with the Islamic Republic of Iran to purchase it oil and gas. The Post reported on Monday that Moritz Kraemer, the chief economist for the partially state-owned bank LBBW in the southwestern German state of Baden-Württemberg, said “Intensive talks are already being held behind the scenes with Venezuela, Iran, or Algeria to cover Germany's oil and gasoline needs.” A spokesman for the German foreign ministry told the Post ”The fact is that there are no talks or plans to buy oil or gas from Iran.” According to the spokesman, the coverage of the talks is “completely unfounded.”
