"Egypt will not stop transporting Iranian oil through the Suez Canal and internal pipelines despite the EU embargo on oil exports, Egypt's Al Ahram newspaper reported on Sunday quoting a source . . . 'Iranian oil, like any other oil, is transported in terms of contracts which are updated every year. We have not received any notifications to ban oil shipments from Iran,' the source in Egyptian energy sector told the paper.
