London, June 11 : The historic India-US civil nuclear deal is almost dead, according to a senior US official.
Asked whether it was now impossible to push the deal through, one Bush Administration official said: “That is probably correct,” The Financial Times reported.
“Even if the Indian Government were suddenly to turn around and get the IAEA stage completed, there would be no time for the remaining two stages,” said Ashley Tellis, one of the original architects of the deal and now an adviser to John McCain’s presidential campaign.
Tellis said that the collapse of the deal would jeopardise India’s access to sensitive US technology, which could have an impact on defence sales and civil nuclear development.
