An oil tanker pulls into the port of a Repsol oil refinery in Cartagena, eastern Spain February 15, 2012. Oil hit a six-month high near $120 a barrel on Wednesday as concern about supply from Iran, other Middle East producers and Africa outweighed those about the health of the global economy. Prices jumped after Iran's Press TV reported Iran had banned exports to six EU countries in retaliation for European Union sanctions against the Islamic state, only to pare gains after Iran's Oil Ministry denied the report.
