Moscow and Tehran have resolved almost all issues related to the supply of Russian gas to Iran, Iranian Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali said in an interview with TASS at the end of the year.
“Another important area of our bilateral relations is the supply of Russian gas to Iran, which is in its final stage and is nearing completion,” he noted.
The ambassador noted that most issues related to the construction of the Rasht-Astara railway section had been resolved by 2025.
“There is currently an obstacle to the project in this section. The main issue, the issue of land acquisition, will be fully resolved by the end of March this year,” Jalali added.
Recall that earlier, Russian Energy Minister Sergei Tsiviliev announced that Moscow and Tehran had reached an agreement to construct a gas pipeline to Iran via Azerbaijan, and that negotiations are in the final stage of finalizing the price.
Initial supply volumes could reach up to 2 billion cubic meters, with the potential to reach 55 billion cubic meters.
