ASTANA, Kazakhstan, June 23. Logistics through
Iran is the main risk amid complicated relations with Israel,
Deputy Prime Minister of Kazakhstan Serik Zhumangarin said at a
press conference in the Kazakh Senate, Trend reports.
According to him, the main risk remains logistics, since the only
railway route to the south passes through Iran. He also emphasized
that the relations between Iran and Israel should not negatively
affect Kazakhstan's trade with Iran.
"What can we lose? First of all, we supply food products to
Iran, and I don't think the current events will affect this. People
need to get food in any case. The country is large," Zhumangarin
stressed.
In the first three months of 2025, the trade turnover between
Kazakhstan and Iran reached $128.9 million.
On the night of June 13, 2025, Israel launched operation targeting
Iranian nuclear facilities and military infrastructure. In
response, Iran carried out missile and drone attacks on Israel. On
June 22, the United States joined the conflict, striking key
nuclear sites in Iran.
