Jaishankar. As per the reports, the Iranian foreign minister has imparted information about the nuclear deal to Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar.

Meanwhile, before the United States imposed sanctions, India was a prime buyer of crude oil from Iran. But now, as the sanctions imposed by the West against Iran will be lifted, the trade between the two nations will further augment.
