Iran resumes gas import from Turkmenistan

Gorgan, IRNA – Turkmenistan has resumed exporting gas to Iran, including to the northern province of Golestan, which was halted in the recent cold wave, a provincial official said.

Golestan's Governor-General Ali-Mohammad Zanganeh said in a Thursday ceremony of inaugurating some economic and constructional projects on the occasion of the ten-day Fajr celebration (February 1 to 11) that the resumption of exporting Turkmenistan’s gas to Iran has its roots in the enhancement of political and economic diplomacy pursued by the administration of President Ebrahim Raisi.

Pointing to the fact that gas per capita consumption in Iran is 4.2 times the world average, he urged the Iranians to optimize energy consumption in order to prevent gas shortage in the cold season.

As to the construction of a petrochemical complex in Golestan province, he noted that the authorities have made all-out efforts to remove obstacles in the way of implementing the project; so, the half-finished complex would become operational in the near future.

Gholam-Reza Montazeri, lawmaker, said that the Islamic Revolution was a sacred foundation, which grew based on self-confidence, and that late Imam Khomeini promoted self-sufficiency and independence as the major objectives of the Islamic Republic.

Isa Paeinmahalli, governor of Gorgan city, said that the provincial officials plan to inaugurate 328 projects during this year’s ten-day Fajr festival.

The Fajr celebration is the time when the Iranians commemorate the timeline between the return of Imam Khomeini to Tehran and the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
