Iran Delivers First Oil Shipments to Tajikistan Amid New Energy Supply Route
Tajikistan has secured its first oil shipments from Iran, marking a significant development in the country's energy supply. The initial deliveries consist of crude oil and petroleum products, with the exact volume and commercial terms remaining undisclosed.
The agreement between Dushanbe and Tehran foresees annual imports of 2.55 million tons of oil and petroleum products, including 2 million tons of crude oil, 300,000 tons of diesel fuel, 150,000 tons of gasoline, and 100,000 tons of aviation fuel.
Tajikistan has proposed establishing dedicated trains and creating a 'green corridor' for fuel transit through Iranian territory. However, Russia remains the country's main supplier of petroleum products, with over 90% of its imports coming from Russia in the first half of 2026.
