US sanctions on Iran have strategic implications on Indian companies and trade.
Indian companies may need to explore non-dollar payment systems or use intermediaries, complicating transactions and increasing the cost of doing business.
Recent US sanctions target various sectors in Iran, including primary sanctions prohibiting US persons from transactions with Iran and secondary sanctions restricting non-US persons from certain dealings.
The sanctions also involve the Specially Designated Nationals List, blocking assets of individuals and entities and prohibiting US persons from dealing with them.
