India seized three Iran-linked US-sanctioned tankers: Reports

New Delhi, 17/2: India has reportedly seized three US-sanctioned oil ⁠tankers linked to Iran this month and heightened surveillance in its maritime zone to ⁠constrain illegal trade.

Reuters citing a source reports that the seizures and increased surveillance follow developments in US-India ​relations as earlier this month. Washington ⁠had announced that it will cut import tariffs on goods to 18 per cent from the previously announced 50 per cent, after they claimed New Delhi agreed to stop Russian oil imports.
