Iran-Russia cooperation in energy industry
Opportunities, challenges and global implications
The relationship between Iran and Russia in the energy sector has always fluctuated between cooperation and competition. From when they were empires to this day, this relationship has been influenced by geopolitical variables, economic developments, and international pressures. At times, shared needs and external pressures have brought the two countries closer, while at other times, differences in national interests and political approaches have created uncertainties in their cooperation.
At a time when the global energy market faces challenges such as economic sanctions, regional crises, the decline of traditional energy resources, and increasing interest in alternative energy sources, global policies have also shifted toward fundamental changes. In recent years, many developed countries have witnessed a rise in nationalist and right-wing tendencies, prioritizing protectionist policies and reducing dependency on foreign markets. This shift has impacted the global economic order and cast a shadow over international energy relations.
