(a) & (b) India has noted the remarks made by the President of the United States on the withdrawal of the United States from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on 8 May 2018. The United States has decided to re-impose sanctions on Iran as a result of its withdrawal from JCPOA.
India is not a party to the JCPOA. The other remaining parties to the JCPOA (UK, France, Germany, Russia, China, Iran and the European Union) have stated that they will abide by the Agreement. India continues to monitor the developments and study the implications of the withdrawal of the United States from the JCPOA. Government will take all necessary measures to safeguard our national interest.
