Whats wrong with the Iranians? India cut off oil imports from Iran by half during sanctions.
And why are the Iranians falling head over heals for India!
Because India is worth having as a friend.
That may be an alien concept to you, since you only know the unequal master-poodle relationship in foreign relations, and not mutual friendship on equal terms. Both Iran and India excel at the latter. Even with superpowers like USA, we expect and desire only trade and friendship, we don't go begging them for military assistance or to set up naval bases in our countries because our own armed forces are inadequate.
BTW, India was one of the last countries to reduce oil import from Iran, and that too under the threat of extreme sanctions. We are not powerful enough to resist that amount of pressure. (We can take a lot more than Pakistan though.) Even the Iranian ambassador understands our compulsions, and says so in the article. I won't ask you to read it, since I don't want to inflict butthurt.
