Turkmenistan and Iran signed a contract for the annual delivery of 10 billion cubic meters of Turkmen gas, which Iran will then transport to Iraq. Iranian companies will build a 125-kilometer pipeline to increase Turkmenistan’s delivery capacity, with plans to boost gas supplies to Iran to 40 billion cubic meters a year. This deal aims to mitigate last year’s disruptions in Iraq’s gas supply from Iran. Turkmenistan, reliant on gas export revenue, also supplies China and plans a pipeline for Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India.
