NEW DELHI -- India hinted Thursday that it has not committed to complying with the U.S. ban on crude oil purchases from Iran after a six-month waiver expired this week, while Turkey suggested it may be unable to do so.
Asked Thursday about India's response to the U.S. sanctions, Raveesh Kumar, spokesperson for India's Ministry of External Affairs, replied that "frankly, for me to give a direct answer to the question would be difficult."
