India Says It Will Take Necessary Steps After US Sanctions Move on Russia, Iran
India's Ministry of External Affairs says the country remains committed to energy security following Washington's adoption of a sanctions act targeting Russia and Iran
India's Ministry of External Affairs (MFA) said the country would take "necessary measures" in response to the United States' adoption of a sanctions act targeting Russia and Iran, according to a statement reported by TASS.
The Russian news agency, citing the MFA statement, said India remains "firmly committed to ensuring energy security" for its population.
The statement did not provide further details on what specific measures India might undertake, nor did it elaborate on the scope of the US sanctions legislation in question.
TASS did not specify the exact date of the MFA statement or provide additional context regarding the sanctions act's provisions or timeline for implementation.
India has historically balanced its relations with Russia, a longtime defense and energy partner, against pressure from Western nations, including the United States, over its continued purchases of Russian oil and other trade dealings.
Further details on the specific measures India intends to take, as well as the full scope of the sanctions act, were not immediately available.
