Didn't matter, you voted YES to get them sanctioned.That is so simplistic. With or without sanctions, India was one of the biggest consumers of Iranian hydrocarbons, and one of the biggest exporters of petrochemical, pharmaceutical and agricultural products to Iran. We did everything in our power to circumvent the sanctions, and went so far as to establish a fictitious "bank" (UCO bank) to trade currency with them. Our actions undercut and undermined the effects of western sanctions. The Iranian ambassador acknowledged that openly last week.
I'm pretty sure that Iranians are smart enough to figure out who the dependable friends are, despite the aspersions from Pakistanis.
