In light of the Western sanctions imposed on Moscow following its invasion of Ukraine, Iran has stated that it has reached an agreement with Russia to supply it with forty turbines. This agreement is intended to assist Russia in the gas industry.
Reda Noshdi, CEO of the Iranian Gas Development and Engineering Company, was quoted by the Iranian Oil Ministry News Agency (Shanna) as claiming that Iran’s economic triumphs “are not restricted to the fields of missiles and drones.
“A recent contract was inked to sell 40 Iranian-made turbines to Russia based on the fact that 85% of the facilities and equipment required by the gas industry are now produced domestically.
Nosadi did not mention the day the contract was signed with Moscow or the day the turbines would be delivered.
Following the imposition of economic sanctions against it, Russia has decreased or halted supplying gas to a number of European nations, which has raised energy prices.
The Kremlin maintains that the sanctions prohibited the upkeep of Russian gas infrastructure and the restoration of turbines made by the “Siemens” business that were the subject of revisions in Canada.
In reference to the gas pipeline connecting Russia and Germany, Russian President Vladimir Putin remarked in September during the Vladivostok meeting, “Give us our turbine, and we will run Nord Stream the following day.”
According to Nosadi, Moscow is intended to be cut off from the global gas market by US sanctions.
“The United States of America has built large-scale facilities for the production of liquefied natural gas recently, essentially excluding one of its biggest rivals in the gas export market with the total ban put on Russia and the subsequent explosion of the Nord Stream gas pipeline.
Despite having sizable gas reserves, Moscow and Tehran are subject to harsh American sanctions, and both nations have emphasised in recent months the necessity of enhancing their bilateral cooperation.
Putin travelled to Tehran in July, where he met with his Iranian counterpart Ibrahim Raisi and the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who also urged the two countries to continue their “long-term collaboration.”
After Kiev and its Western allies accused Moscow of deploying Iranian-made drones to launch assaults in Ukraine, Tehran has denied giving Russia any weaponry.
Iran says it will give Russia 40 turbines to help the gas industry.
