Press Statement
 
 
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
 
 
Reject Sanctions on Iran Oil
 
 
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) condemns the decision of the United States
government to impose sanctions on any country which purchases oil from Iran.
The Trump administration has decided not to extend the waiver given to India
and some other countries in this regard.
 
Any step to stop importing oil from Iran will harm India's energy security
and national interests. Earlier the External Affairs Minister, Sushma Swaraj
had stated that India will not adhere to any sanctions except those adopted
by the United Nations.
 
Since the United States has unilaterally imposed these illegal sanctions,
the BJP led government must reject these sanctions and continue to buy oil
from Iran which is in the country's interests.
