Russian Energy Forum Focuses on Iran-Russia Gas Deal and Caucasus Grid Interconnection

The pairing of an Iran-Russia gas arrangement with Caucasus grid interconnection points to infrastructure diplomacy rather than commodity pricing as the operative theme. Both projects sit in terrain where sanctions exposure and multiple sovereign jurisdictions shape feasibility more than supply or demand. Whether either moves from agenda item to signed, financed project is the open question; the absence of figures or timelines in the disclosure itself suggests the forum stage is still political signalling.
