NEW DELHI: With the US-Iran interim peace agreement, Tehran is hoping to emerge as a top supplier to India again and is sending petroleum minister Mohsen Paknejad here next week for a Brics meeting, officials said, reports. He is likely to have a bilateral meeting with counterpart Hardeep Puri, but this is yet to be confirmed.

If sanctions were lifted, he said, there was no doubt Iran could once again become one of India's "principal oil suppliers".
