Envoy: Russia investing in Iran’s oil fields as part of energy coop.
“We are cooperating with our Russian partners in the energy sector. First, there are investments by the Russian side in Iranian oil fields. We are interested in gas cooperation. The second option is the presence of Russian partners in Iranian fields. Another option is the supply of Russian gas to Iran, and together we could implement joint projects. This is also a project we are working on,” Jalali told TASS.
Elsewhere in his remarks, the Iranian envoy blamed the West for escalating the situation in Ukraine.
“Unfortunately, the intervention of the collective West has aggravated the situation and complicates this process every day. The West has proved to us in practice that it has no will for a ceasefire,” he said.
Since the war broke out in Ukraine in February 2022, the West has provided Kiev with untrammeled support in the realms of finance, logistics and intelligence, turning a blind eye to alarming calls by the international community, not least Russia, that the unhindered backing would only prolong the devastating conflict in the former Soviet republic.
