🇮🇷🇷🇺 Rezaei after meeting Putin: Russian gas pipelines to Iran and the Rasht–Astara railway
Following his Kremlin meeting with Putin, Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said the two sides discussed building gas pipelines from Russia to Iran, both to cover Iran’s own gas shortages and to sell Russian gas on to neighboring countries.
Rezaei also said Iran’s Supreme National Security Council has approved the Rasht–Astara corridor, and that Iran’s roads minister will soon sign and implement the contract.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Nikitin said the two sides signed a package of documents in Tehran on the Rasht–Astara railway, including a protocol granting Russian engineers access to land along the entire route for surveys. The line will link the Russian and Iranian rail networks into a single system and open a seamless route to the Persian Gulf and South Asia.
The 162 km line, financed by Russia with around €1.6 billion under a 2023 agreement, is the missing link of the International North–South Transport Corridor, connecting Russia to the Indian Ocean through Iran and bypassing Western-controlled routes.

🇮🇷🇺🇳🇺🇸| Iran’s Head of Atomic Energy told Russia’s RT that IAEA chief works for the enemy
Eslami said: “The fact that the US President constantly threatens to attack ‘Kuh Kolang’ (Pickaxe mountain) and has previously threatened other locations in various ways is a clear sign of their desperation.
The IAEA Director General has effectively become an agent and obedient follower of our enemy, providing them with information.
These actions are an abuse of the authority of international bodies, which undermines their credibility and reveals the serious weakness of the UN Charter and the NPT.”

Tying their security to the unstable and potentially collapsing Saudi regime is something I welcome for the Jolani regime. They’ll fall together like dominoes.
I really do hope the Jolani regime doesn’t last past this decade.
