TEHRAN, June 1 (Xinhua) -- Iran is ready to send more fuel shipments to Venezuela if there is a request, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said on Monday.

Mousavi slammed U.S. attempts to block Iran's trade with other countries, saying that "if Venezuela makes a new request for (fuel) delivery, more shipments will be sent."

"It is Iran's natural right to defend its (economic) interests even in faraway places," Mousavi said in his weekly press conference.

Last months, five Iranian oil fuel tankers arrived at Venezuela shores.

Washington has threatened to take action against the Venezuela-bound fuel tankers, including blacklisting the crew and the tankers. Enditem
