Iran and India's Energy Partnership Revival

Iran and India discuss enhancing energy collaboration and trade during their oil ministers' meeting at a BRICS gathering in India. This comes after a recent interim deal between Iran and the U.S., with India having been a key buyer of Iranian oil before U.S. sanctions in 2019.

In a recent development, Iran and India held talks to bolster energy cooperation and trade at a meeting on the sidelines of a BRICS energy ministers’ gathering in India, according to Shana, the Iranian oil ministry's news outlet.

This meeting follows a significant interim agreement between Iran and the United States, leading Washington to issue a temporary license for exporting Iranian energy products.

Historically, India has played a crucial role as a buyer of Iranian crude, although imports were halted in 2019 due to U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil exports.
