Foreign Minister Zarif ’s visit to update Delhi on developments in Persian Gulf
India will take a call on the purchase of Iranian energy after the general election, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj told her Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif here on Tuesday.
The discussions come in the backdrop of escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf after the U.S. waivers for supply of Iranian energy ended on May 2, prompting Tehran to declare that it would no longer be bound by the 2015 nuclear deal.
“On purchase of oil from Iran, the External Affairs Minister reiterated the position that a decision will be taken after the election keeping in mind our commercial considerations, energy security and economic interests,” said a source familiar with the discussions held between the two sides at the Jawaharlal Nehru Bhavan here.
