The Black Sea has a geopolitical complexity due to the multitude of actors and beneficiaries of the gas market, which makes it difficult to transfer Iran's gas to Europe through this route.

The formalities of exporting Iran's liquefied gas to Pakistan from the border of Mirjaveh to Taftan returned to normal after the consultations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Customs of the Islamic Republic of Iran and are currently being carried out according to the normal procedure.

The CEO of Iran Gas Engineering and Development Company said: During the last two years, we were able to drill as many gas wells as the entire period of activity of the National Gas Company.

Although talks have accelerated in recent days, the project faces serious challenges such as Afghanistan's security, Pakistan-India differences, and Islamabad's stance on the Peace Pipeline.

These days, the news of the discovery of Pakistan's gas field has become news, along with Iran's demand for compensation from Pakistan, and the question has arisen whether Pakistan will continue its joint project with Iran after discovering the oil field!

Pakistan's defense minister clearly blamed the US for the delay in the gas pipeline project with Iran and said that Islamabad should involve every other country related to the project in order to complete the agreement.

The CEO of Iran Gas Engineering and Development Company said: God willing, soon with the opening of the "Minab-Sirik-Kuh Mubarak gas pipeline", we will see the energy of the sector's development reaching the Jask region and the formation of an energy hub in the east of Hormozgan province.

Sanctions, lack of investment and mismanagement have plagued Iran's energy industry for years. Iran has been importing gas from its neighbor Turkmenistan for a long time, which has occasionally cut off its gas flow to Iran due to non-reimbursement.

The Iran-Turkey gas contract ends in 2026, and its extension was uncertain due to Iran's own needs. But with Iran's recent agreements with Russia and Turkmenistan to import gas, the possibility of extending this contract has also become stronger.

Kuwait is one of the gas importing countries in the Persian Gulf region, which recently signed a 15-year contract with Qatar to import LNG. While Iran and Kuwait can revive the agreement on the import of Iranian gas through the Iraqi pipeline.
