India opposes fresh sanctions against Iran

[Indian_Idol]

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.

mate, i dont think there is a chance for a pressure from US. any pressure from US will make India to side with Russia, which the Americans dont want... so the pressure thing wont work...

 

[Indian_Idol]

I don`t think that you Indians are selfmaster yet [

ofcourse we are.. we built this economy from scratch, not with the help of any other nation. yes we do buy goods from other countries and that doesn't make them as our Masters..

 

[Abi]

when u.s will put pressure on upa govt,they will do anything

Look at what this Israel loving Indian said.

 

[gurjot]

Look at what this Israel loving Indian said.

well i was expecting this from someone,u did this no matter.i love israel for the tech they have,for a small country who is able to say that it is the strongest country in the region,for their help to india,whether there are defence purchases or something else but wat they do with Palestinians ,i hate this.so don't go for the flag.don't believe at the first looks.

 

[ramu]

India is a complex beast and it has milked the power of being neutral. India has problems in its immediate neighbourhood but every investment bank, every defence supplier anywhere in the world, every head hunting agency, who is worth his salt has India on his radar.

It is an honour to be an Indian when we are on the cusp of historic change when Indians grow out of their shells and voice their opinion and the world takes notice.

It is surprising to see not one positive post from a single non Indian in favour of India for taking a step to oppose sanctions. Sanctions are a rude weapon in the hands of developed country against the developing. India was under sanctions but the world realised it was better to have India on their side. India does not want Iran to go through sanctions if indeed Iran is pursuing nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

Iran is a signatory of NPT and it is against its commitment to pursue weapons program. Indian argument is to give Iran a chance to come clean and not let sanctions be imposed without being proved guilty.

Well of course India will bow down and do what their masters say, but most nations have a backbone and some self respect.

Where was Iran when India was placed under sanctions ?

And yeah, we dont have backbone or self respect to openly threaten existance of a country whereas supporting Christian Armenia against Shia muslim azerbaijan.

How many bases do USA have in India? How India live on US aid? As far as I remember before 'Islamic revolution', Iran used to do whatever US tell to do them. Now its completely opposite!

What about Russia? Why they earlier voted against Iran? Why they are not supplying you the SAM that already been ordered?

BTW its a good move. As India said they will stick to it. But US tactics will let the sanction go on though.

 

[Nima]

hey Indians calm down
Don't expect us to say thank you. This is not how we Iranians do business. Whether you support us or hate us makes no difference, up to you.

well we're already under 3 rounds of sanctions and we have been for 3 decades!
sanctions don't work on a country with oil and gas.

holy buddah
The US needs Russia and China to vote in favor and they have already declined. Don't talk out of your behind.
And to answer your other question, well it's because Iran and Russia are in NO SHAPE OR FORM ALLIES, we're business partners.
It was only a century or so ago when Iran and Russia were fighting each other. Most of these former S republics were taken away from Iran a couple of centuries ago and Iranians hate Russia for it.

 

[imran iqbal]

Well Nima, Hate guys like Abi and his distant relative crazy Ahmedi for making enemy out of every civilazation on earth.

I hope Iran survives sanctions and best of luck for future.

thank you

This abi guy could be a proper human being one day. Right now he's a brainwashed mullah lover.

 

[Hussein]

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.

France : it is nothing to do with economical relation. it is maybe what you watch on propaganda national tv but it is not the truth

Indeed France and Germany said officially that they want to respect the Iranians will for change and that these sanctions would be a hell for them and for all normal people of Iran.

I guess now we know that a boycott is making a hell to poor and middle class people BUT not for the dirty ones. Like Saddam he didn't get out by his people because of boycott .

It was too difficult for you to understand? US tactics will lead to sanction at the end. They did it earlier! Russia, China and others were there at time as well. Understood?

OK, You and Russia are business partners only and not allies but who is your allies in this world?

Russia and China BOTH VOTED FOR SANCTIONS IN SUPPORT OF THE WEST in those EARLIER 3 ROUNDS but they have always made it clear that they're against crippling sanctions (the same ones that Iraq was put under and the same ones that the US is lobbying for today). Their position has always been clear. In those 3 rounds they never spoke against the West but whenever the US speaks of crippling sanctions and sanctions against oil and gas they step in. They know that there is only ONE TYPE of sanctions that can hurt Iran and they have been stopping the Americans for years.

As for allies, we have no allies. We're our own allies b/c we can afford to do so. We have oil and gas, something many developing countries lack so they have to make sacrifices by slaving themselves to the West.

btw, today Iran and China are huge trading partners and China has invested BILLIONS in Iran. They're never in a millionyears going to shoot themselves in the foot by allowing sanctions.

"China finds in Iran a permanent partner for its exports and a source for its growing energy demand. In March 2004, Zhuhai Zhenrong Corporation, a Chinese state-run company, signed a 25-year contract to import 110 million metric tons of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) from Iran. This was followed by another contract between Sinopec and Iran LNG, signed in October of the same year. The deal, worth $100 billion, adds an extra 250 million tons of LNG to China's energy supply, to be extracted from Iran's Yadavaran field over a 25-year period. In January 2009, Iran and China signed a $1.76bn contract for the initial development of the North Azadegan oil field in western Iran. In March the two countries struck a three-year $3.39 billion deal to produce liquefied natural gas in Iran's mammoth South Pars natural gas field. Because of its limited refining capacity Iran imports one third of its refined products such as petrol from China.[9][10]"

Well of course India will bow down and do what their masters say, but most nations have a backbone and some self respect.

There is not much of a difference between bravado and stupidity. Americans are the rulers of the present world and they end up getting what they want. If you read about how the Indian civilian nuclear deal was signed, Bush apparently railroaded through countries like China. Now when China, a country with much more international clout than India was forced to kowtow to the US's demands, what can India do in this case?

Coming back to the topic, this makes absolute sense. Sanctions do not make sense since most of these affect the common public for not direct fault of theirs. I have always felt it is incorrect to check Iran while turn the other way when Israel (clandestinely) builds a stockpile of nuclear weapons. I find it worrying that Israel has decided to stay out the nuclear summit.
