India rebuffs US charm offensive, says Iran is key source of energy

India on Tuesday resisted a U.S. charm offensive to scale down oil imports from Iran, saying “Iran is a key country” for India’s “energy needs”.

"Iran is a key country for our energy needs,” Indian External Affairs Minister S M Krishna said at a joint press conference with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in New Delhi.

Clinton had visited New Delhi to put pressure on New Delhi to limit its oil imports from Iran.
