The imposition of unilateral sanctions and economic terrorism by the United States against Iran seriously threatened the stability of the energy markets. The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran at the 8th Summit of the Assembly of Gas Exporting Countries: The world's largest energy suppliers should condemn the military interventions of the United States in the Persian Gulf region and deal with it effectively. Global developments have made joint cooperation in the form of development of "strategic governance and management" and "technical-engineering operations" of the energy market necessary. The Islamic Republic of Iran declares its willingness to play a more active role in developing joint investments, expanding gas trade and strengthening global energy security.
