India had been one of the most stubborn consumers of cheap Iranian crude. However, it's being reported that even India has completely stopped it's purchases from Iran and is instead buying more US and Saudi oil. It's not just the current administration. I remember Secretary Clinton under President Obama coaxing India to cut Iranian imports.
To be clear, China is still defying US sanctions.
If a recalcitrant nation like India changed its ways, does that mean sanctions are working? Was the President right all along? If he is, are sanctions a peaceful resolution to the Iran situation? All are free to discuss.
