Report: Iran threatens to cut oil supply to India

Iran is threatening to cut oil supplies to India by August if billions of dollars in what it says are overdue payments for crude oil are not made.

Iran's semi-official Fars news agency says it will not authorize the shipment of crude oil to India starting Aug. 1 if India does not pay up.

The two countries resolved a dispute in February over how India pays for Iranian crude oil, with New Delhi agreeing to set up a mechanism to route payments through a German bank.

The decision ended a stalemate that had threatened to disrupt Iranian oil supplies to India.
