The parties discussed implementation of joint gas projects and preparation of bilateral cooperation agreements, the ministry added.
Iran and Russia are close to finalizing an agreement on the gas trade, Iranian Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad said.
Paknejad said he had discussed with his Russian counterpart the implementation of agreements reached during the 19th session of the Russia-Iran Intergovernmental Commission in February 2026, as well as issues related to Russian investments in Iranian oil and gas fields. Possible solutions to existing problems in bilateral cooperation were also prepared.

It is not too far fetched that Turkey will pull out of NATO if they don’t get those F35s. This could lead to closer ties to Iran and Russia as Erdogan is openly hostile to Israel with Bibi at the helm. With elections coming up in the US and Israel expect some political fall out that may push Turkey into the tri alliance at first maybe Lukewarm and strengthen as we get to the timeline of the 2nd millennium anniversary of the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior. All things seem to be converging with in the next 3.4 years.
