No US pressure, energy ties with Iran intact: India

India, which has voted for the IAEA resolution accusing Iran of breach of its nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT) obligations, has asserted that its decision was not taken under American pressure and will have no impact on the planned tri-nation pipeline that also involves Pakistan, Indo-Asian News Service reported on Sunday.

“India has played a constructive role in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) governing board and helped safeguard Iran’s legitimate interests,” Indian External Affairs Ministry spokesman Navtej Sarna said Saturday night referring to India’s energy cooperation with Iran.
