India opposes fresh sanctions against Iran


As US gathers support to impose fresh sanctions on Iran over its controversial nuclear programme, India on Saturday made clear its opposition to such a step, saying it would not solve the problem.

At the same time, India wants Iran to work with UN nuclear watchdog IAEA to convince the world that it is not seeking nuclear weapons as claimed by it.

"We are not sure sanctions are an answer. We don't think sanctions will solve the problem," sources said while articulating India's position on the moves by the US to garner support for fresh UN sanctions against Iran.

The US is currently holding talks with other permanent members of the UN Security Council for support on a resolution to impose fourth round of sanctions on Iran.

India opposes sanctions as it feels that these only impact common people.

Noting that Iran has been saying that it is not seeking nuclear weapons, the sources said many countries across the world, however, are not convinced by it.

"The best way to reassure the world is to work with IAEA," they said.

India has always maintained that the controversy over Iran's nuclear programme should be addressed within the forum of IAEA rather than the UNSC.

About the perception that IAEA has lately hardened its stance vis-a-vis Iran's nuclear programme, the sources said exasperation may be setting in as the UN atomic watchdog has been involved in the matter for long and got no assurance.

Brazil, Russia, China and India all oppose sanctions, as do most developing nations like Turkey. On top of that, even the largest proponents of sanctions, Germany and France, don't want sanctions that would hurt their economic relations with Iran.

i don't think the UPA govt is giving more importance to the Nuclear deal wit US these days... but it opened many closed doors for India which i personally consider as one of the greatest achievements of the govt.
yup Iran have been our long time friend and the current statement will reassure our relations..

chameleon natured u.s

i actually like US in this regard they play their cards very carefully and cunningly that even the prey cannot imagine where they are going...

Come on folks,
Wich country can say NO to USA?

Same thing happened before US strike against Iraq "Saddam Hussain"
Then no country helped Iraq or Iraqi people.

SAAB NE MILL KAT IRAQ KA TAMASHA DEKHA & SADDAM HUSSAIN KA

Some Indian says the following words:

USA has never been our masters and they never will... We are the masters of ourself...

Then I have a question if you Indians are master of yourself then why have Nu-Clear deal with USA?

Well i think India is becoming more independent now and looking out for its interests, but if tomorrow America can pressure India into accepting sanctions, then we will know who is the master of who.
