Iran’s Supreme National Security Council secretary Rezai told state TV he and
Russian President Putin discussed supplying Russian natural gas to Iran and the
necessary infrastructure. IRIB quoted Rezai saying the sides reviewed the
Rasht–Astara railway and that Iran will soon sign an implementation contract.
They also discussed laying a pipeline from Russia into Iran, which Rezai said
would help ease Iran’s gas shortages and create the possibility of selling
Russian gas to neighboring countries.
