Envoy: US unimpressed with India's efforts to cut Iran oil buys
None
The United States is not impressed with India's efforts to cut its oil imports from Iran, a top US diplomat said on Tuesday, throwing into doubt whether New Delhi would be given a waiver from US financial sanctions before a June deadline.
As a major buyer of Iranian crude, India is crucial to US efforts to squeeze Iran's economy until it agrees to curb its nuclear programme, which the United States and other Western nations suspect is a cover to build atomic weapons. (Reuters)
