A deal signed by Iran and Turkey which could make it possible to transport Turkmen gas to Europe without going through Russia may be thwarted by the United States and Russia, say NBCentralAsia analysts.

On July 13, Turkey and Iran signed a protocol agreement to develop three gas wells on the South Pars shelf off the southwest coast of Iran. The two countries also agreed to export 30 billion cubic metres of natural gas – some of it Turkmen – to Europe every year."
