Iran–U.S. Oil Cooperation Considered Possible Amid Nuclear Talks

Iran’s oil minister has stated that cooperation between Iran and the United States in the oil and gas sector cannot be ruled out, as diplomatic engagements and nuclear negotiations between the two countries continue.

According to KhabarOnline, Mohsen Paknejad said that “everything is possible” when asked about the prospects for energy cooperation between Tehran and Washington. He cautioned, however, that it remains unclear whether such cooperation could become operational in the near term, noting that this would depend on broader political and diplomatic developments.

According to the minister, while energy cooperation is discussed within the general context of negotiations, its realization is subject to multiple variables, including the pace and outcome of ongoing talks.

In a related development, Hamid Ghanbari, Deputy for Economic Diplomacy at Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, previously stated that shared interests in areas such as oil and gas, joint energy fields, mineral investments, and even aircraft purchases have been incorporated into the negotiation framework with the United States.

These remarks suggest that despite longstanding political tensions, the energy sector remains a potential area for engagement between Iran and the United States—one that could carry significant economic and geopolitical implications at both regional and international levels.
