New Delhi: The Iranian Ambassador to India said on Tuesday that although Tehran was "not unhappy" with New Delhi's stand on the country, it would urge India to "pay attention to the realities that are being shaped". Speaking to reporters in New Delhi, the diplomat said that India and Iran had worked out an agreement for the payment of oil.
"A mechanism has been worked out between India and Iran for the payment of oil. A part payment in rupees has now been agreed. Gold is not a suitable option for payment," he said.
The envoy further added, "The possibility of a military strike on Iran is very low at this point. A whole world can be affected."
Reacting to the constant US threats to the Islamic republic, he said, "The US cannot harm India-Iran ties. Iran has always worked within IAEA norms and framework. Nearly 4000 man hours of inspection has been done by IAEA inspectors."
He further said that Iran was in total disagreement with a nuclear weapons programme. "There should not be atomic weapons anywhere in the world," he said.
He further claimed that Iran did not want the Strait of Hormuz to be shut, adding that in the event of a war, there will be "disruptions".
