BJP celebrated when Indian ships passed through Hormuz last month.
“Modi’s silent diplomacy,” they said.
One month later; a tanker with 6 lakh barrels of Iranian crude, destination Gujarat, quietly turned around mid-sea.
Where is it going? China.
The tanker didn’t turn back because of war or blockade.
It turned back because Indian refiners CANNOT pay for US-sanctioned ships.
Meanwhile China has zero such problem. China took the oil India needed.
This is what 7 years of surrendering your foreign policy to Washington looks like.
Hormuz was never the problem. Modi’s compromises are.
@StateDept It rather applies to #USA & #Israel , instead of #Iran.
And the intentions of US are out now, they only wanted to create another #Iraq in Iran, nothing to do with nukes.
