India, Mullahs' Last Best Friend?

Bangalore: At the wake of newly imposed sanctions on its oil sector and the increased attempts of international isolation by the global powers, Iran is finding a great friend down in South Asia – INDIA.

As the world's biggest democracy chooses the road over the international pressure and decides to continue buying Iranian oil and offer a helping hand to Tehran to beat the global sanctions by buying Indian goods using rupees instead of dollars, there is a global focus on India and the Right-wing Wall Street Journal says “Delhi is turning out to be the mullahs' last best friend.”

The editorial titled ‘Iran’s Indian Enablers’, began “The world's most notorious theocracy is desperately looking for a friend with deep pockets. It has found an unlikely candidate: the world's biggest democracy.” India surpassed its neighbor China to become Iran’s biggest customer for crude oil boldly undermining the pressure from the United Nations and the European Union to chock oil-rich nation to death.
