00:17 It is now clear that the sanctions imposed on Russia have not had the expected effect.
00:22 However, the announcement of a new serial agreement between Russia and Iran marks a
00:27 new fatal blow to Western ambitions, in a context where the world is looking at
00:31 the Middle East.
00:32 The United States and its allies have imposed sanctions and restrictions against Russia
00:37 to try to weaken its economy and limit its cereal and wheat exports.
00:42 However, these measures have failed to stop the record cereal exchanges made
00:47 by Russian exporters over the past year and a half.
00:50 Faced with these challenges, Iran has proposed to help Russia by creating a new transport corridor
00:56 to facilitate the export of Russian cereals to third countries.
00:59 The Deputy Minister of the Iranian economy, Seyed Ali Rohani, stressed that Iran could
01:04 not only import cereals from Russia to meet its own needs, but also
01:09 serve as a transit corridor for Russian exports.
01:12 He expressed Iran's desire to establish a long-term partnership with Russia,
01:17 emphasizing the country's reliability as a commercial partner.
01:20 Relations between Russia and Iran have seen significant evolution in recent years,
01:26 with the finalization of a new strategic cooperation agreement in progress.
01:30 The two countries have strengthened their diplomatic, economic and strategic ties, including in
01:35 the military field.
01:36 They have also developed trade and implemented the North-South International Transport Corridor
01:42 initiative, a trade route linking Russia to India via Iran.
01:46 Trade between Russia and Iran has increased substantially in recent years.
01:51 In 2022, it experienced an increase of about 20%, and in the first half of 2023 it almost
01:58 doubled.
01:59 Trade is not limited only to cereals, but also includes other sectors such as
02:04 the automotive industry, metals, chemical products, etc.
02:08 Iran became the third largest buyer of Russian wheat in September, behind Egypt and Turkey.
02:15 In addition to cereals, trade has also seen strong growth in other areas,
02:21 such as high-quality fruits and vegetables, industrial goods, metals and
02:25 chemical products.
02:26 This strengthened cooperation between Russia and Iran shows their desire to circumvent
02:31 Western sanctions and to develop mutually beneficial economic partnerships.
02:35 While the United States and its allies continue to attempt to weaken the Russian economy,
02:41 Iran positions itself as a promising strategic ally and commercial partner for Russia,
02:45 offering an alternative to the traditional market.
