AKIPRESS.COM - India said on Monday it abided by sanctions imposed by the United Nations but not those imposed by any other country, such as those announced by the United States against Iran, Reuters reported.
U.S. President Donald Trump this month withdrew the United States from the Iran nuclear deal and ordered the reimposition of U.S. sanctions suspended under the 2015 accord.
Indian foreign minister Sushma Swaraj said New Delhi’s position was independent of any other country.
“India follows only U.N. sanctions, and not unilateral sanctions by any country,” she said at a news conference.
