Secretary of State Hillary Clinton11 countries have been granted an exception from U.S. sanctions aimed at cutting funding for Iranian oil exports – funding that helps pay for Iran's illicit nuclear program.
Under a law signed by President Barack Obama on December 31st, 2011, countries need to show by June 28th, 2012 that they are substantially cutting back on their imports of Iranian oil, or their financial institutions risk being cut off from the U.S. banking system.
The eleven countries that have already significantly reduced their volume of crude oil purchases from Iran and earned exceptions include Japan and ten countries in the European Union -- Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Britain, and Spain. The exceptions are valid for 180 days –- until September 16th -- and are renewable based on ongoing reductions.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton noted the actions taken by the eleven countries to reduce their imports of Iranian oil were not easy ones.美国向11国免除了伊朗石油出口禁令，该禁令旨在防止伊朗石油出口获得资金，将其用于不正当的核项目上。
美国总统巴拉克•奥巴马于2011年9月31日签署一项法令，各国须在2012年6月28号前主动停止从伊朗进口石油，否则他们的金融机构会从美国银行系统中除名。
这11国已大幅缩小了他们从伊朗进口原油的规模并获得了进口特例，这些国家中包括日本以及10个欧盟成员国：比利时、捷克共和国、法国、德国、希腊、意大利、荷兰、波兰、英国以及西班牙。特例有效周期为180天，即到9月16日，根据不断减少的进口额度可以顺延。
国务卿希拉里•克林顿补充道，11国的减少从伊朗进口石油的举动是不易做到的。
