Iran 'could halt' India oil supplies

[Cyrus the Great]

Just fly the 2 billion dollars in cash, gold or other valuables.

Its ironic that Iran has problem with all western countries, but wants their payment in their currency preferably in the currency of 'The Great Satan'. Talk about the difference b/n preaching & practice.

Iran does not prefer trade in USD

 

[Cyrus the Great]

Iran should agree using INR for trade, given our currency is stable from last 5 years.

Why should Iran accept INR while Iran yearly export to india in $13 b adn import from India in only $ 2 b.

India should pay in the currency Iran wants (Eruo)

Did you read the article before commenting.

There is money, but no banking channel to transfer the funds to Iran due to sanctions.

Well thats the price you pay when you decide to make enemies out of very powerful nations.

there is banking system there, but Indian central bank is afraid of US to manage it

 

[Cyrus the Great]

Iranians really need to rethink their strategy of making enemies with all countries having exchangable global currencies. They need to really do something if trading is to be made possible. We have the cash to pay but they won't accept anything of the "Great Satan". They won't accept Rupee either. Then what are we supposed to pay in? Vegetables?

you should pay in what seller wants and you can keep your own veget.

 

[Cyrus the Great]

Because what we will ship they won't accept and what they want, they are not able to convey. Isn't it obvious? Do you seriously think we're not having the money to pay for oil we already ordered?

paying is buyer's duty, you should find out how to pay to seller otherwise stop ordering.

See, your leaders needs to really start understanding geopolitics much more pragmatically rather than sitting down and implementing how to recreate an imaginary empire by fighting a fictional enemy. By saber-rattling and isolating oneself from rest of the world, this is not going to serve you in any good manner. Think about it; you won't accept US dollars, Euro sanctions are there; we cannot use Japanese Yen to transact internationally and neither the INR nor the Tuman are internationally transferrable without creating sufficient reserves.

Then YOU tell me Mr intelligent, HOW are we supposed to pay you? Either stop making all significant countries your enemy needlessly, or you're likely to face situation like this. The nuke deal was an incentive to reduce dependency on Iran, NOT to not pay you for what has been already a confirmed deal.

First ask your leaders to find an alternate and we will pay in that.

I guess Iran has enough policy maker its own, better you advise your government how to do his duty.Iran government is under public prusure to stop oil transfer to India, india is not a reliable country for Iran any more

 

[Cyrus the Great]

How is China paying them by the way?

china has only stomach what India does not

 

[UKBengali]

It is interesting that no other country apart from India has an issue.

Something about the Indians does not seem right here.

 

[Cyrus the Great]

China use their own currency to pay for Iranian imports. Iran doesn't want to be paid in INR. That is the root of the problem. Its not easy for Iran to halt supplies to its second largest customer and be ignored by it in the future.

as Iran need customer India need independent and reliable seller. Saudi will cut off oil transfer to india with a finger point of US

This stupid pride is the reason why you're halfway down North Korea's lane being everyone's reject except people here on PDF throwing flowers at you. You are surviving on your own not because of your own miracles and the bravery of your leaders but because you have oil in massive quantity. Otherwise your leaders would have been Kim Jong's duplicates in ruling. US sanctioned us for nukes as well. We still got the nukes AND still got along with US. Heck, we nearly came to blows with US at one time! You call this taking it up when your Shah was taking it from all over? And guess what? Your country was far better, far more peaceful, far more open and had a wonderful image at that time. Countries are just mass representations of people that need other people and countries at large if not for trade alone but also as exchange. Otherwise pride goes nowhere other than dustbin.

we do not expect you understand the pride as you never shown in history, sorry other indian here, but i guess the answer of this stupid comment must be harmful to writer

Even if india is ordering, i guess you have your right to reject the order if your payment ways are not fulfilled, which is i see iran has failed to do so.

Let me tell one thing, I have tremendous respect for the culture and history of Iran, its a beautiful country

I understand your country's difficulties with the USA. And Tshering22 is right about many points, although I don't agree with his view of the Shah. He was more or less a dictator who didn't really care about common Iranians anyways.

My country Bangladesh (used to be known as East Pakistan) was born out of a bloody struggle back in 1971. We had India and USSR on our side, and the USA, China and West Pakistan on the other. It was also a Cold War proxy battle if we look at it from an international POV.

And amid all the war, and success, guess what? - today's Bangladesh still maintain good relations with the USA, China and even today's Pakistan.

Even India and Pakistan came under sanctions after nuclear tests, and both appear to get along with the USA and the West in general. Indian-USA relations are pretty high at the moment.

Anyways, my point is that many countries may try to hurt others, but that don't mean taking that enmity too far. And I think that is the key mistake your leaders are doing.

Go against everything and everyone, but get little or nothing in return. Is that what you really want for your country? Is that what Iranians want? What do problems in Lebanon have to do with Iran? Does the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have EVERYTHING to do with Iran? Good God, are your leaders for real?

is Iran against everything and everyone? Iran just defending herself from US harm. is Iran against BD or china or Pak,India,..... the point is some counties do not have stomach to establish independent relation with others out of US influence. this point must be considered by Iranian

 

[Cyrus the Great]

Sure thing. Oil goes out, money comes in. That is the arithmetic of it all. Iran earns money through sale of oil. If it loses a major customer like India, Iran only stands to lose some income. Can Iran handle that?

lossing a customer is better than transferring free oil, India needs an independent supplier too

 

[Major Ram]

as Iran need customer India need independent and reliable seller. Saudi will cut off oil transfer to india with a finger point of US

Just get the hell out of your dream kid, what makes you think that USA would want to stop oil supply to India, and Saudi will stop oil supply to India? All you're saying is "IFs"...

its my turn now,
you'll will stay hungry and die "IF" we stop going to the toilet.

does that hurt?

IranZamin dude... India was paying money through all loops holes for the oil.. which even Iran understands... If the loop holes are closed Iran has to do trading some way? isnt ... If India defaults you can complain.. but India is not defaulting wantedly....

Secondly on isolation... Your argument is right on Iran's stand.. But you are developing Nuclear bomb targetting Saudi and Israel which is on offensive mode... If your Nuclear is for defensive mode like you have an enemy who is going to grab the land there will be no issue... which is a source of concern in international arena.. and they have absolutely have no confidence on your dictator....

Believe me Iran would have become a prosperous one a Middle East power than Saudi with your natural resource , knowledge better than all gulf and tradition... but you choose to isolate yourself because of Israel... Even those who have borders with them have settled for peace or trying to.. But in reality some how do you expect Israel to return the land back? they have got it by winning... similar to your rulers who won the battle in India and took its wealth back... no one can request to give the wealth back... A simple nature example 2 fox fighting for a meat... the one which wins get the meat right? even though the other managed to hunt.. the one which lost cant claim the meat even though it hunted it... this is nature..

Unless your dictator learns to live in group it is difficult to survive.. never ever a single tree can become a forest....

please provide proof that iran is going to make a N. bomb , second proof and iran is going to target Saudi even Israeil. you can say everything easy but you need provide the proof
