After US call, India may be preparing for Iran oil import cut

23

Obama’s genocidal JCPOA is coming apart for the mullahs in Tehran. India imports billions of dollars worth of oil from the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the loss of India’s business would be a significant economic blow. Ambassador Nikki Haley was recently in India, to lobby India’s leadership into reconsidering its relations with Iran. India is wisely reevaluating who it buys oil from, since the new U.S economic sanctions against Iran will begin on November 4, 2018. President Trump has been incredible. Unlike his pro-jihad predecessor, Trump has been unrelenting in preventing Iran from going nuclear. However, none of this may have been possible without Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as nobody fought harder to stop the JCPOA in the pre-Trump world of insanity and inept American leadership.

“After US call, India preparing for Iran oil import cut?,” Economic Times, June 28, 2018:

Oil ministry has asked refiners to prepare for a ‘drastic reduction or zero’ imports of Iranian oil from November, two industry sources told Reuters, the first sign that New Delhi is responding to a push by the United States to cut trade ties with Iran.

“Report: India to stop importing oil from Iran,” Israel National News, June 29, 2018:

The government of India has asked Indian refiners to prepare for a ‘drastic reduction or zero’ imports of oil from Iran starting this November.

Two business insiders told Reuters that the Indian Oil Ministry held a meeting with refiners Thursday in which they were told to search for alternatives to Iranian oil.

“[India] has asked refiners to be prepared for any eventuality, since the situation is still evolving. There could be drastic reduction or there could be no import at all,” said one source.

The warning to refiners comes as the US urges countries around the world, including India, to comply with the sanctions the US is reimposing on Iran following President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

On Thursday, US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley called on India to rethink its relationship with Iran.

Haley said she understood India “can’t change its relationship with Iran in a day” but said she used a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi to encourage a reassessment.

“I also think for the future of India, and the future of being able to get resources and who they’re dependent on, I would encourage them to rethink their relationship with Iran,” she was quoted as having told local broadcaster NDTV after an address in New Delhi….

This news explains why the POTUS asked Salman to increase Saudi production by 2 million bpd.

The house of Saud despots caught between a rock and a hard place – at last.

To temporarily bring OUR prices down.
The Saudis OWE us. They have been playing ball with us… still they are not to be trusted long term. We both don’t like IRAN having nuclear weapons.

India can stop buying only if there is sufficient oil in the market . so yes, extra production not reduction to jack up prices is important to make the sanctions work.

Dems sold out to Iran because they have only one loyalty – to themselves !

Dems were paid by Iranian lobbyists to support Nuke deal http://tinyurl.com/mcake4d

And their holdovers still support it.

Suresh – there is plenty of oil in Canada but own version of “obama the muslim traitor” made sure the oil industry was badly hampered if not shut down.

maybe the scumbag is getting paid by saudis to keep production down to rip off rest of the world with high prices.

Trudope was bought and paid for by Soros and supported by China and islamic oil money. He couldn’t be more anti-Canadian. He has opened the borders to destroy Canada just like Obama did to the US. The only light at the end of the tunnel is that Canadians are turning against him and the Liberals. The Liberal party was wiped out in the Ontario provincial elections in June. Ontario is the largest province with about 1/4 to 1/3 of the population and the federal election is coming up in 2019. We are hoping for a repeat performance against this fascist dictator, he actually called Canadians racist and is pushing for a Islamophobia bill. We are right on the heals of the UK on BS unless this can be turned around in 2019. Or hopefully sooner.

India could import all its needs from America for a fair price and avoid OPEC altogether.

Trouble is,45 years of dawdling and cowtowing to lefties, enviro-wackos and internationalists has left the US woefully short of the infrastructure needed to make good on such deliveries.

Like oil pipelines, storage and refining. We produce slightly half of our needs presently. Better than before Trump,but still not good.

A fully functioning, market-oriented American oil industry would squash OPEC in a fortnight.

$TARVE Iran financially! Let the coup in Iran happen. Iran has been using Obama money to fund jihad an nuclear arms development. The Iran economy is a mess and the people are being neglected. Unemployment is high and people are hurting financially. $tarving them would help the demise of Iran along.

If North Korea follows through and changes to a capitalistic economy, this too would push Iran further away from developing nuclear weapons. North Korea has been influencing Iran on that.

They are already calling for Khamenei’s death, perhaps it is only a matter of time.

The USA, India and Israel all share the mutual threat of Islamic terror, the three nations should be trying to put aside all differences and work together towards ending the threat of jihad!

India has a vastly superior need for oil compared to the other three, and as they’re an emerging economy, much more sensitive to price shocks.

Give the countries a chance to comply, but afterwards, just BLOCK ships and planes coming to and from Iran.

Guys we’re talking about a coup in Iran, that doesn’t mean the people who replace them will be any better. 99% of Iranians are officially Muslim, however many of them still hold to their Persian roots and those are the Iranians who need our support.

Imagine if you were in Iran how would you overthrow this evil regime which has a large 100,000 man army to protect it? There are only two ways, either from the outside with the US invading and bombing the regime into dust, or inside-we arm secular (not muslim) forces, millions of them, to take power by force.

I think it’s very unfair to leave Iranians to be defenseless cannon-fodder and take down the regime with bats and knives. They need real weapons or an invasionary force to help them.

Obama gave this regime billions of dollars, they could probably weather anything thrown at them (like Assad did) except military intervention. So the sanctions will really only hurt the Iranian people and our allies who need the oil.

This tactic is a cowardly way out and just kicks the can down the road. It’s time Trump does to the Iranian regime what he did to ISIS. Screw the sanctions, just go in there and destroy the Mullahcracy and their supporters. Install a pro-western regime and we’ll all be happy.

Installing a “pro-western” regime didn’t seem to work out to well for non-muslims or freedom in Iraq did it? Because what will happen is that there will be a democratic vote once — for an islamic theocracy.

Difficult situation, since Indian policy in the region is very complex. I think they need Iran as a counter-balance to Pakistan, for example.

Although I doubt Iran would ever dare go against Pakistan directly, it has stayed out of their South Asian squabbles for the most part.

If Canada had export pipelines to it’s coasts it could help India. Trudeau hates Canada and democracy.

Canada is several times further from India then the middle east Einstein! India has access to some of the cheapest best quality oil in the world at its doorstep. They have access to oil as close as Alberta is to BC!
Why would they want to pay premium price for dirty low grade Canadian select oil that must be shipped several thousands of kms????
