🇮🇳🇮🇷India Resumes Iranian Oil Imports As America Sanctions India's Ministry of Petroleum has officially confirmed the resumption of crude oil imports from Iran, ending a five-year halt. The move marks the first such purchase by Indian refiners since May 2019, when they ceased imports under pressure from the US sanctions. New Delhi dismissed reports of payment hurdles or tanker diversions as 'factually incorrect,' asserting full flexibility in its sourcing. This policy shift provides a significant economic boost to the Iranian regime, directly undermining international efforts to isolate Tehran. The purchase was facilitated by the temporary easing of the US sanctions, allowing the transaction to proceed. The initial shipment of 600,000 barrels, paid for in Indian Rupees, is arriving at Gujarat's Vadinar refinery. This purchase was enabled by a narrow 30-day US sanctions waiver. India also recently took delivery of 44,000 tons of Iranian LPG at Mangalore. Minas Tirith | 24/7 News channel | Updated
