Analysis Reasoning

No evidence exists that Spain has announced or will announce oil trade with Iran in Chinese yuan. Search results show Iran negotiating yuan-based oil passage through the Strait of Hormuz with eight unidentified countries and charging tolls in yuan, but Spain is not mentioned among negotiating parties. The only Spain-China reference in available sources concerns a 2012 economic cooperation agreement unrelated to Iran oil trade.
