Russian natural gas giant Gazprom, seeking an outlet for supplies previously delivered to Europe before the Ukraine invasion, has signed an accord with Iran to supply the  Gulf nation with pipeline gas from Russia.

Qatar’s wealth from being one of the world’s top three liquefied natural gas exporters with the US and Australia is set to be supplemented with additional future income from a new oil-producing expansion project in the Arabian Gulf with crude prices to remain high for the next several years.
