India Likely To Continue Importing Iran Oil Despite US Sanctions

NEW DELHI: With India seeking ways to maintain its bilateral ties with Iran in the face of US sanctions reimposed on the Gulf nation, a London-based international law firm said on Thursday that Iran''s major energy consumers like India and China have indicated they intend to find a way to go around the US sanctions and keep the Iran oil lines open.

According to official sources, India is discussing with European Union (EU) members to find a way out, apart from trying to convince the US that its economic sanctions on Iran following America''s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal will have negative implications for the Indian economy.
