A statement posted on the ministry's shana.ir website gave no other details, but it follows a flurry of contradictory signals by Iran about backlash against the EU for imposing a boycott on Iranian oil beginning in July. The 27-nation EU accounts for about 18 percent of Iran's oil exports. Ministry spokesman Ali Reza Nikzad-Rahbar said the suspension posed no problems for Iran.

"We have our own customers and replaced British and French companies with other firms," he was quoted as saying by the IRNA state news agency.

"Rob Kall's book Bottom-Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution is both a welcomed manifesto and a guide for rethinking the power of human agency, understanding the connections that both make us human and legitimate human planetary relations. Moreover it is a powerful call for providing the ideas, social practices, and relations that make human connections possible, enable them to work together from the bottom up, and to transform such connections into a powerful movement in which people take control of their lives and create a better future for everyone."
