India won’t abide by new US sanctions on Iran, FM says

India will not join sanctions recently reimposed on Iran by the US, the Indian foreign minister says.

Sushma Swaraj says her country will only abide by sanctions imposed by the United Nations, according to Reuters.

“India follows only UN sanctions, and not unilateral sanctions by any country,” she says at a press conference in response to a question about the recent US decision to back out of the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and reimpose sanctions.

Swaraj is set to meet in New Delhi with her Iranian counterpart, Mohammad Javad Zarif, later today.
