More Fallout From Iran/China Deal: India Loses Farzad-B Tyler Durden Fri, 07/24/2020 – 19:25 Authored by Tom Luongo via Gold, Goats, ‘n Guns blog, The carnage for following President Trump’s lead on ending the JCPOA continues for India.

Close on the heels of breaking the Chabahar-Zahedan rail project agreement, Iran appears set to deny India’s state-run ONGC Videsh Limited (OVL), exploration and production rights for the key Farzad B gas field. The granting of rights to OVL was already delayed with New Delhi moving slowly on the issue, but came to a complete standstill after the 2018 imposition of US sanctions on Tehran.
