India ends Iranian oil imports
WASHINGTON: India has ended all imports of oil from Iran, its ambassador in Washington said Wednesday, becoming the latest country to comply with threatened US sanctions.
India had already sharply decreased its imports from Iran and bought one million tons of crude in April, the last month before Washington stepped up its pressure campaign against Tehran and ended all exemptions to sanctions, Ambassador Harsh Vardhan Shringla said.
“That’s it. After that we haven’t imported any,” Shringla told reporters during a briefing on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s election victory.
Shringla said that energy-hungry India has also ended all imports from Venezuela because it considered itself a partner of the United States — but said the shift had caused pain at home, with Iran formerly supplying 10 percent of India’s oil needs.
Calling Iran “an extended neighbor” of India with longstanding cultural links, Shringla declined to say if New Delhi shared President Donald Trump’s concerns about Tehran.
“This is an issue that has to be dealt with, really, between the United States and Iran. We are only, in many senses, looking at it as a third party,” Shringla said.
But he added: “We would not like to see a move toward any escalation in any way in that area, for the simple reason that we depend very heavily on stability in that part of the world.”
Trump last year pulled out of a multinational pact under which Iran drastically scaled back its nuclear work in return for promises of sanctions relief.
The Trump administration has instead ramped up economic pressure on Iran and recently deployed military assets including an aircraft carrier strike group to the area.
The United States as of May 2 has ended exemptions it had given to eight governments from its unilateral order to stop buying Iranian oil.
Turkey, which enjoyed a waiver and vocally disagreed with the US policy, has also stopped importing oil from Iran, a Turkish official said Tuesday.
State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus welcomed the news from Turkey.
“We want the whole world to comply with these sanctions, and we’re grateful for our partners and allies that are respecting them,” she told reporters.

And the US is the best ally one can have! Pakistan knows it from history! ? ?
India's foreign policy is so fucked up that it'll sink them very soon. It has always been in bed with Russia but now wants to be in bed with the US too. It had always maintained good relations with Israel, but at the same is trying to get cozy with Iran and Saudia too. It wants to be in bed with you and with your enemies simultaneously!!
I just hope this helps frustrate Russia fast and Russia chooses to align with Pakistan instead!
It looks like Iran is doomed unless some miracle happens.
Very very difficult times ahead for Iran.
Har baat mein tumhein Shia le atay ho. Sawal gandam jawab shia. Itna bughz Shia se.پاکستان کی پاس سنہری موقعہ ہے
ایک مسلمان ملک کی مدد کرنی چاہیں بےشک لاکھ اختلاف ہوں
ایران کی مدد کرو، اور جو بھٹو شیعہ کے خلاف پاکستان میں اپنی غرداری سے نفرت پھیلانے میں نمبر ۔۱ ہے
اُس کے خلاف پاکستانی شیعہ کو جو شہ ایران سے ملتی ہے اُس کو بہتر طریقہ سے روکا جا سکتا ہے۔
اس طرح یہ بھٹو کے کتے صحابہ کو گالیاں نکالنے اور پی.ٹی.ایم کو ہوا دینے سے بھی رکوے جا سکتے ہیں۔

Why countries have to comply with US sanctions against Iran, unless these sanctions were mandated by UN Security Council.
PPP to apni khal aur maal bacha rahi hay. Baqi rahi baat muawiya ki to Imran khan never said that he wants muawiya nizam. I m Shian-e-Ali a.s and support IK not corrupt sharif or zardari
کیا پی پی پی ازل سے شیعہ کو پاکستان کے خلاف استمال نہیں کرتی آئی؟
کیا تمہیں معاویہ کا نظام چاہیے؟ صحابہ کو گالیاں؟

ایرانی بھی منافقت اور فرقہ واریت چھوڑ کے انسان بچے بنے۔
اس نے اپنے مسلمان پڑوسی دوست کو چھوڑ کے اسکے دشمن سے پھینگیں بڑھائی کہ یہ ہمارا دوست بنے گا۔۔۔ حالانکہ ہندوں بنیا صرف پیسے کا دوست ہے۔

Abu sufyan ne hazoor pak se jang ki muawiya me hazrat ali se yazeed ne hazrat imam Hussein se. hazoor pak ne farmaya jis ne ali se jung ki is ne mujh se jung ki.
میرے سوال میں کوئی عمران خان کا نام نہیں۔
شہلا رضا کی صحابہ کو گالی پر تم نے جیسے عمران خان کے نام کو جوڑا ہے یہ جھوٹ بے شک تقیہ کہلاتا ہے۔
پہلے سچ بولنا سیکھؤ، سیدی سچی بات کرو۔
Yeh adeel har baat mein Shia ko ghaseet lata hay, harami yazeed aur muawiya ka parokar hay.اس سے بحث میں مت اُلجھنا
یہ اکابرین پر کیچڑ اچھالنا شروع ہو جائیگا
بس یہیں ختم کر دو

USA truly rules the world.
Its really sad that the muslim countries own most of worlds crude oil and yet are enslaved by dollars.
Zulfikar Ali bhutto , as much as i dislike him , had a great idea of islamic block and islamic currency. But muslim leaders did not have foresight those days to comprehend it. Now all muslim countries do is buy weapons from USA and kill each other.
Tum batao kiya imran khan ne kaha k voh muawiya laeen ka nizam chahta hay?میں نے کچھ ایسا سوال کیا ہو جو چھپا ہوا ہو؟
اگر ایسا ہے تو مجھے بتاؤ۔
Tum batao kiya imran khan ne kaha k voh muawiya laeen ka nizam chahta hay?
Yeh adeel har baat mein Shia ko ghaseet lata hay, harami yazeed aur muawiya ka parokar hay.
Imran khan ne kabhi nahin kaha k voh muawiya laeen ka nizam nafiz karna Chahtta hay. Lekin chawal shehla ne yah kaha k IK muawiya laeen ka nizam chahta hay.
نہیں شہلا رضا نے جو پی پی پی کی رہنما اور سندھ اسمبلی کی سپیکر تھی۔
صدارتی نظام پر سوال کرنے پر صحابہ پر گالی تو پھر کسی کی بھی عزت اور ؤقت نہیں رہے گی۔
