India resolute on Iran oil imports

 One thoughtful Indian daily even wondered if the Israelis aren’t doing this to themselves in a supreme act of theatrics

Gradually but inexorably we are moving towards a new world, one in which the skulduggery of the Anglo-American-Israeli axis is butt of quiet humour.

M.K.Bhadrakumar

The Indian establishment’s nerves didn’t give way on Iran after two major assaults this week. There have been hardly any worthwhile takers in Delhi — except the famous Friends of Israel brigade in our media — for the smear campaign that Tehran’s agents are scurrying around the world pasting plastic bombs on Israeli diplomats. One thoughtful Indian daily even wondered if the Israelis aren’t doing this to themselves in a supreme act of theatrics, which intelligence agencies all over undertake in certain situations. (Which by no means can be ruled out, since as Home Minister P Chidambaram said, these are ’sophisticated’ devices.)

La OTAN y la contrarrevolución están siendo derrotadas en la ciudad de Homs

Con solamente observar el mapa está claro que si la OTAN a través de sus fuerzas especiales y mercenarios toman Homs dividen Siria entre Norte y Sur y entre Este y Oeste. Cortan el acceso de Damasco a Alepo y a las ciudades de la costa siria, particularmente Tartus y Lataquié. Es por eso que han desplegado fuerzas especiales de Turquía y Gran Bretaña además de mercenarios pagados por Qatar y Arabia Saudita para dar apoyo logístico a los terroristas anti sirios y medios de comunicación con los que vigilar a las fuerzas sirias y atacarlas. Además suministran a los criminales armas sofisticadas como fusiles de visión nocturna y granadas de fósforo para destruir carros ligeros. Obviamente esta realidad es ocultada por los medios de desinformación imperialistas como Al Jazeera y CNN.

India figured as Iran’s number one crude oil customer in January. That may be difficult to believe but it is indeed a statement of fact. Actually, India stepped up its imports of Iranian oil by 37.5 percent, which helped Iran offset a 50 percent cut in Chinese purchases resulting from a dispute in pricing. China now imports around 250000 barrels a day as against India’s 550000 barrels a day, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
