Iran-Russia Railroad Cooperation to Remain Unaffected by US Sanctions

The US sanctions will not affect Iran’s railroad cooperation with Russia, which will continue to expand just as the previous round of sanctions failed to impact their railroad construction initiative, a deputy head of the Islamic Republic of Iran Railways said.
Speaking to Russia’s Sputnik news agency, Hossein Ashouri added that contractors and specialists from both counties are taking part in joint projects. 
“Since the commissioning is carried out by Russian specialists, equipment is also provided by the Russian side in accordance with their agreements,” he said.
