Iran Oil Deal

On 24 Nov 2013, Iran, USA and five other countries struck a deal aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear programme in exchange for an easing of the sanctions against Iran. This may have significant implications for India which was Iran’s second-largest importer of oil. The easing of sanctions against Iran should result in lower oil prices, which will benefit India.
