]]> South Africa’s planning to resume oil supplies from Iran – possibly within three months.

Deputy foreign ministers of the two countries spoke about this in Pretoria today.

Iran was once South Africa’s largest supplier of crude – providing about a quarter of the country’s needs.

The taps were turned off two years ago by Western sanctions against Iran over its nuclear programme.

Deputy Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Nomaindiya Mfeketo and her Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir Abdollahian spoke today about opening them up again.

(Take in Indiya clip here.)

Sanctions blocked more than $100 billion of oil revenue Iran was holding abroad.

They also prevented Iran from exporting to some countries.

But it’s bumped up oil sales to China, India, Japan and South Korea.
