EU skjuter upp förbud mot rysk oljeimport på grund av kriget i Iran

EU har skjutit upp sitt förslag om ett totalt importförbud för olja från Ryssland. Beslutet kommer efter ett plötsligt tappat politiskt stöd på grund av kriget i Iran, trots att förslaget redan är färdigställt. Förordningen var tänkt att gälla alla medlemsstater, inklusive Ungern och Slovakien.

Bryssel/Frankfurt. EU-kommissionen har under flera månader arbetat på ett totalt förbud mot oljeimport från Ryssland. Förslaget är färdigställt men har nu skjutits upp.

Källor inom EU uppger att det politiska stödet plötsligt har försvunnit på grund av kriget i Iran. Den nya förordningen var tänkt att förbjuda alla medlemsstater att köpa rysk olja, inklusive Ungern och Slovakien.

Uppskjutningen innebär att lagstiftningen tills vidare ligger på is. Inga officiella bekräftelser har ännu kommit från Bryssel.

The European Union is preparing non-binding guidance urging member states to reduce reliance on Middle Eastern jet fuel and consider increasing imports from the United States, a source familiar with the plans told Reuters, as the Iran war continues to disrupt energy shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.

On the fifth day of the war in Iran, Tehran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has driven up oil and gas prices, affecting the global economy. European gas prices rose from 32 to 49 euros per MWh, while Brent crude climbed from 72 to 82 dollars per barrel. Europe, vulnerable due to its reliance on imports, faces heightened risks if the conflict drags on.

Due to the Iran war's impact on energy prices, the EU Commission has urged member states to lower gas storage filling targets from 90 to 80 percent. EU Commissioner Dan Jørgensen wrote in a letter that this could reduce gas demand and ease price pressures. The EU is better prepared for crises than in 2022.

Following strikes on military targets and shipping disruptions earlier in March, the Israel-Iran war intensified as both sides hit oil and gas production and export facilities. The attacks raise alarms for global energy markets, prompting the International Energy Agency to urge conservation amid fears of severe price shocks.

Russia's Foreign Ministry stated on February 18, 2026, that it has no reason to believe India has altered its position on purchasing Russian oil. This comes amid U.S. claims that India agreed to halt such imports as part of a trade deal. The ministry emphasized the mutual benefits of these purchases for energy market stability.

As the US-Israel-Iran conflict surpasses its fourth day following initial strikes on February 28, Iran has blockaded the Strait of Hormuz and launched drone attacks on key Saudi and Qatari energy facilities. Growing European involvement and US commitments elsewhere raise concerns over prolonged hostilities harming American interests. De-escalation through negotiations is urgently needed.
