Iran opposes the construction of a gas pipeline in the Caspian Sea, as it could cause serious damage to the region’s ecology, said Behrouz Namdari, representative of the National Gas Company (Iran) at the Caspian Economic Forum.

According to him, the construction of a gas pipeline from east to west of the Caspian Sea can cause severe damage to the region’s ecology.

Iran offers neighbors to use its infrastructure - gas pipelines and terminals - to supply gas to world markets, he added.
