Abstract

Iran and India have an explicit interest in advancing commercial and energy ties. With the world's third-largest reserve of oil and second-largest proven reserve of gas, Iran is anxious to get its hydrocarbons out of the ground and into new markets, while energystarved India wants access to those resources. Both states derive a number of domestic and international benefits from their emerging relationship. It is obvious that with the common grounds between two countries and their desire for each other a reasonable wised relation will benefit both countries confronting the difficulties in their region and world.
