NEW DELHI – India on Wednesday called for diplomacy to resolve the disputeover the Iran nuclear deal after the United States announced it was pullingout of the accord agreed with Tehran in 2015.
New Delhi has longstanding ties with Iran, which is also one of its top oilsuppliers.
But it has developed close political and security ties with the UnitedStates and the foreign ministry was measured in its response to PresidentDonald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan ofAction, as the accord is formally known, to limit Tehran’s nuclear program.
“All parties should engage constructively to address and resolve issuesthat have arisen with respect to the JCPOA,” the foreign ministry said in astatement.
