OPEC's share in India's annual oil imports rises after 8-year drop
👉 India buys a significant share of its crude from Saudi Arabia typically its #3 supplier after Russia and Iraq. In 2024, Saudi supplied roughly ~13% (~0.64 mb/d) of India’s crude; in H1-2025 Saudi remained #3.
Calendar 2024 (full year)
  • Russia: ~36% of India’s crude (top supplier).
  • Iraq: ~20–21%.
  • Saudi Arabia: ~13% (~0.64 mb/d).
  • UAE: ~9%.
  • United States: ~3–4% (5th supplier by early 2025 as volumes rose).

Somthing I thought interesting when looking up how much oil India gets from Saudi Arabia...

👉 Next India Pakistan war may get slightly more complicated for the Indians.

I wonder what Iran thinks of that.
Not good. Lol 🤣
Also... it doesn't matter what the heck Iran thinks.

Israel has shown us Iran is no threat conventionally. Literally Iran was steamrolled in less then 24 hours.

Saudis get a lot of the same weapons Israelis do. Iran would never start a war with Saudi Arabia because they can't wage a war outside their borders really beyond a-symmetric terrorist proxy schemes/warfare.

To be honest I don't think Saudis are scared of Iran and I don't think Saudis signed this deal because of Iran. Maybe Saudis did this in reaction to Israeli strike on Qatar?

It makes the Saudis untouchable. Pakistan has a formidable conventional military but by extending it’s nuclear umbrella to KSA that effectively provides them with nuclear deterrence too.

Well if Pakistan Foreign Minister said this deal was in the making for months... then this deal the Saudis signed was not a haste or rash decision in regards to Israeli strike on Qatar.
