US: India should rethink relations with Iran

India needs to rethink its relationship with Iran, the US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said.

"For the future of India, we would encourage them to rethink their relationship with Iran," the US ambassador said, adding that she had a "constructive conversation" with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi about cutting Iranian oil imports during their meeting on Wednesday.

"All of us have to rethink who we choose to do business with. I think as a friend, India should also decide if this is a country they want to continue doing business with. So yes, I had that conversation with PM Modi. It was a constructive conversation," NDTV cited Haley as saying.
