India Follows UN Sanctions, Not US Sanctions On Iran

Responding to a question on whether the sanctions imposed by the United States on Iran and Venezuela will affect India's oil imports from the two countries, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said today that India only recognises sanctions imposed by United Nations.

"We only recognise UN sanctions. We do not recognise any country-specific sanctions," Ms Swaraj said today in a press-conference.

Iran is India's third largest oil supplier. Venezuela is also one of the major suppliers of oil to India.

Trump announced his decision, reimposing the economic sanctions against Iran.

The US had also announced more sanctions against Venezuela, following re-election of President Nicolas Maduro.

However, officials said the US decision to reinstate financial sanctions on Iran would not impact India's oil imports as long as European countries did not follow suit.
