DUBAI (Reuters) - South Korea has bought no Iranian crude oil for about three months after the reimposition of U.S. sanctions on Tehran, a spokesman for the Iranian oil ministry was quoted as saying on Sunday by the ministry news website SHANA.

"For about three consecutive months, South Korea has had no oil imports from Iran," SHANA quoted Kasra Nouri as saying. "South Korea is the first country to completely cut off oil imports from Iran following the unilateral U.S. sanctions against Iran."
