Iran accepts 45% of India oil sales in rupees: report

Kuwait Times -- Iran has agreed to be paid 45 percent of revenue from its Indian oil exports in rupees, to be deposited with an Indian bank beyond the reach of new US and European sanctions, a report said Thursday.
The two countries have chosen UCO Bank, headquartered in the eastern city of Kolkata, for the rupee transactions to settle part of India's $12.68-billion annual oil bill, The Indian Express reported.
India currently pays for 20 percent of its oil imports from Iran in rupees, with the remainder settled in euros at the Turkish bank, Turkiye Halk Bankasi.
There are concerns that the Turkish route will be closed by tough new European sanctions on oil exports from Iran imposed over the Islamic Republic's disputed nuclear programme.
India has said it will continue to buy crude from Iran despite moves

Well India needs oil. And it appears they do not care where it comes from. With Iran taking Rupees it means that Iran will be buying local products since no one else is taking Rupees. Maybe a smart move by Iran. But what has India to offer???

Then Iran can buy from India meaning India will not support the embargo in more ways than one.

Can't have an embargo without co-operating states. So no embargo.

India is one of Iran's top allies, probably the top one. So much in common besides the oil, such as persecuting Christians and Jews.

This certainly does nothing to raise India's status above the peaks of the holy-cow patties, in my eyes. Nice going there, "Friends."

Need it be said that 'with friends like this, who needs enemies?'

India is not helping matters.

No foreign policy so this is what we get.

Get rid of the mess in the White House and Senate.

The batters up are not encouraging either.

India should soon be able to negotiate to pay Iran for 95% of its purchases with Bollywood movies and the other 5% in cow dung.

This is another example of how these economic sanctions don't work. It is time to cut off all aid to India.
