Background
The pipeline was proposed in late September 2024, when Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian met with Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin in Tehran.[1] As of October 2024, the ownership and parent company structure is presumed, based on this meeting and the state-owned enterprises that are active in these countries.
The pipeline is proposed to run under the Caspian Sea from Russia to Iran, as an alternative gas source to Azeri and Turkish gas.[1] The route in the Global Energy Monitor database is a preliminary one, based on the description of the pipeline, though no routes were available to trace as of October 2024.
In January pf 2025, the construction of a gas pipeline from Russia to Iran is underway, deliveries at the first stage may amount to 2 billion cubic meters with the prospect of increasing them to 55 billion cubic meters, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a press conference following talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.[2]
