TEHRAN — Iran’s commerce minister announced yesterday that all trade between the Islamic republic and Denmark has been immediately suspended in retaliation for the publication of blasphemous cartoons.
“As of tommorow, you cannot register to import consumer products from Denmark,” Commerce Minister Masoud Mir-Kazemi was quoted as saying by state television.
“Any kind of business negotiation or agreement with Denmark is suspended as of today. All those agreements which are able to be cancelled will be cancelled,” he added.
