Speaking on the sidelines of the weekly ministerial meeting of the cabinet on Wednesday, the minister told reporters that less than one month ago, some documents were signed by Iran and Russia under which part of Russian gas would be transfered to Iran to be used for consumption, export and ensuring the neighboring countries energy security.

Owji continued: I can tell you confidently that the Russian Gas Transfer to Iran Document can pave the way for an economic revolution, ensuring the energy security of the neighboring countries through Iran.

Elsewhere in his remarks, he said that fuel delivery to power plants and gas stations is stable without any problems adding as much as 265 million liters of liquid fuel is being distributed across the country each day, worth 67 billion dollars annually.
