It is unclear how Germany would buy gas from Iran at this time because of US sanctions on Iran’s energy sector.
The chief economist for the partially state-owned bank LBBW in the southwestern German state of Baden-Württemberg announced that Germany is engaged in secret talks with the Islamic Republic of Iran to buy Iranian oil, The Jerusalem Post can first reveal.
“Intensive talks are already being held behind the scenes with Venezuela, Iran or Algeria to cover Germany's oil needs.” said Moritz Kraemer, the chief economist of the Landesbank Baden-Württemberg. The comment by Kraemer was made in the context of how Germany plans to cover its energy needs with efforts to wean itself off Russian gas dependency.
