Iran has a good capacity in energy resources and transmission and the agreement signed with Turkmenistan on gas swap could mitigate the impacts of the sanctions slapped by the United States against Iran, Shahriar Heydari told IRNA on Sunday.
As a member of the Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, Heydari said that such opportunities weren’t leveraged in the past and expressed hope that President Ebrahim Raisi’s administration could prioritize it and increase economic exchange with neighbors.
He named cultural commonalities as a strong component in Iran’s relationship with neighboring countries and noted that the administration should leverage all components.
