U.S. exempts India, South Korea and five others from Iran oil sanctions

[illusion8]

(Reuters) - The United States will exempt India, South Korea, Turkey and four other countries from financial sanctions because they have significantly cut purchases of Iranian oil, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Monday.

Clinton said exemptions would also be granted to Malaysia, South Africa, Sri Lanka and Taiwan, which join Japan and a number of European countries already on the list of those exempted from the U.S. sanctions.

"Today's announcement underscores the success of our sanctions implementation. By reducing Iran's oil sales, we are sending a decisive message to Iran's leaders: until they take concrete actions to satisfy the concerns of the international community, they will continue to face increasing isolation and pressure," Clinton said in a statement.

I like how the U.S. talks about "concerns of the international community" but in the same sentence is openly blackmailing that international community with sanctions to comply with their strategy to destroy or hurt Irans economy, no one but their lackeys would otherwise care about.

How much oil purchase did we reduce from Iran ? I don't think it was substantial

Not much was just an eye wash whatever amount of reduction was due to difficulties in making payments.
