The U.S. ambassador to Georgia, John Tefft, said that his country is against long-term strategic cooperation between Georgia and Iran in natural gas deliveries, APA reports.
The diplomat said the statement of Matthew Bryza, the U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, saying that the White House will not oppose Tbilisi’s use of Iranian gas to overcome an energy crisis, had been wrongly interpreted.
A temporary agreement on Iranian gas deliveries to Georgia was concluded after explosions in January 2006 on trunk pipelines in Georgia, which caused a suspension in gas supplies from Russia.
Tefft said the United States position can be explained on the one hand by the latest UN resolutions on Iran, and by the country’s nuclear program. /APA/
