US Warns India Against Trade Deals With Sanctioned Iran

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that no country should help Iran evade sanctions, warning that nations facilitating revenue for terrorism or nuclear development face potential US sanctions.

Rubio dismissed claims of an existing trade deal between India and Iran, despite Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent meeting with President Masoud Pezeshkian at the SCO Summit in Bishkek.

Modi expressed a commitment to 'expand and diversify' the trade basket with Iran, emphasizing India's support for regional peace efforts during his discussions with the Iranian leadership.
