India using oil imports to pressure Iran (Iranian media)

[Śakra]

Israel advises india on many things , including on what to do with the iranian oil money , so this hypothesis is not far from reality they're teaching them how to steal from iran.

The ayatollah spends his weekends in Tel Aviv. If India was advised by Israel India would be buying that low-grade sour heavy crude from iran.

Hopefully India doesn't respond by sending it's cannibals to Iran because in the past Indian cannibals wanted to cut the head of Iranian journalist Reza Aslan.

Great catch
Swammi's are the dirtiest things on this planet

Blame Russia, Blame China, maybe soon we'll see Blame India !!!

wut?

So you say Iran shouldn't export oil to India, shouldn't export oil to China, then who else is there to buy oil? EU, Japan and South Korea are all in the American camp (as is India).

if its up to some people they'll just nuke anyone who has superior power compared to Iran

do you know digging the ground and extracting oil from ground has some cost !?

so lets be clear :
we are paying to dig ground and producing oil and export it to India and China and they don't pay for it !

and they say " we will give you our products { junks } instead of the money " !!!

and some groups get those junks and sell them in Iran without paying any tax and our local small companies can't match them and are getting bankrupt and our workers are losing their jobs !!!!

as an Iranian I don't want to pay for India and China oil !!!

so we are paying for India and China oil , make work for their people and crushing our own local and private companies !!! how can this be a sane decision !?

well Iran response to India

In turn, NIOC threatened to cut the discount it offers to Indian buyers on freight from 80 percent to about 60 percent, the officials added.

by the way it was Indian company who stopped developing that gas field under irrelevant parties pressure so they must expect some change in the contract after they failed to honor they obligation. it's just for insurance after all, till they prove their trustworthiness on the matter.

India says Iran already 'retaliated' against its oil import cut plan

Indian media say Iran has cut by one-third the time it gives to Indian refiners to pay for oil they buy from it and has also raised ship freight rates.

The Hindu in a report quoted informed sources in New Delhi as saying that Iran had designed both measures in retaliation against India’s decision to reduce Iranian oil imports.

Iran, India’s third biggest oil supplier, used to give a 90-day credit period to refiners like Indian Oil Corp (IOC) and Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd (MRPL) to pay for the oil they would buy from it, added the report.

Now, Tehran has reduced this to 60 days, essentially means that IOC and MRPL would have to pay for the oil they buy from Iran in 60 days instead of previous liberal term of 90 days, sources privy to the development said.

The Hindu quoted unidentified sources as saying that the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) had also decided to cut the discount it offers to Indian buyers on freight from 80 percent to about 60 percent. Iran is yet to react to what has been described by the Indian media as retaliatory measures.

Reports emerged in the media last week that several leading Indian refiners were planning to cut oil imports from by a fifth.

The Times of India quoted sources as saying that the move came as New Delhi took “a more assertive stance over an impasse on a giant gas field (Farzad B) that it wants awarded to an Indian consortium”.

However, Iran’s Minister of Petroleum Bijan Zanganeh said Tehran was not worried about India’s purported plan to cut oil imports.

He emphasized that the Islamic Republic was open to negotiations with the Indian side to boost cooperation but stressed that Tehran would not accept what he described as “the language of threat”.

“There should be sensible conditions in the negotiations. We cannot sign a contract under threats. The language of threat is not a good one,” Zanganeh said.

“India is one of our good customers and we are willing to boost cooperation. If there is a cut in our exports to India, we will have no troubles as there are many other customers,” he emphasized.
