The UK isn't currently an importer of Iranian crude,. We stopped buying at the end of 2011.

Interesting that Belgium and Germany aren't on the list though.

Eight European Union countries imported Iranian crude oil in the third quarter of 2011, Eurostat figures show. Former buyers of Iranian crude, including the U.K., Austria, Poland, and Portugal, cut their imports to zero in the third quarter.

Country Imports bpd Percent Imports
1. Italy 204,000 13.2
2. Spain 170,000 16.2
3. Greece 158,000 53.1
4. France 75,000 6.0
5. Belgium 71,000 11.6
6. Netherlands 15,000 1.5
7. Germany 8,000 0.4
