The study analyses the main areas of cooperation between the countries and identifies the main challenges and opportunities. The analysis showed that the main subject of imports and exports in the countries is agricultural products. Based on the analysed data on trade turnover between Russia and Iran over the past five years, an overview of trade volume between the countries is given, the commodity structure of exports and imports between the countries and the dynamics of trade development are presented. It was found that the current political and economic situation in the world contributes to strengthening trade and economic relations between Iran and Russia. The study also analyses the reasons for the growth in trade volume, including the impact of the imposed sanctions and the consequences of the withdrawal of several foreign companies from the Russian market. It has been established that there is an increase in cooperation between the countries under the influence of sanctions at the present stage. Based on the results of the conducted research and the identified difficulties countries face in the modern international market, ways to overcome them are proposed (investment on the part of Russia, striving for stability in the ratio of currencies to each other and the US dollar). The purpose of the study is to analyze the trade and economic cooperation between Russia and Iran, focusing on key aspects and prospective development directions. To achieve this goal, methods such as the review of scientific publications, analysis of statistical data and economic development indicators, as well as comparative analysis were employed. These methods enabled a deeper understanding of the current state of relations and helped identify key areas for their future development.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Рассмотрены состояние торгово-­экономических отношений между Россией и Ираном и перспективные направления развития торгового оборота между странами. Проанализированы основные направления сотрудничества между странами, выявлены основные вызовы и возможности. Анализ показал, что важнейшим предметом импорта и экспорта в странах является сельскохозяйственная продукция. На основе данных о торговле между Россией и Ираном за последние пять лет охарактеризованы товарооборот, товарная структура экспорта и импорта между странами, динамика развития торговли. Установлено, что современная политическая и экономическая ситуация в мире способствует укреплению торгово-­экономических отношений Ирана с Россией. Также проанализированы факторы роста объема торговли, включая влияние введенных санкций и последствий ухода ряда зарубежных компаний с российского рынка. Установлено, что под влиянием санкций на современном этапе отмечается рост направлений сотрудничества между странами. По результатам проведенного исследования и рассмотренным трудностям, с которыми сталкиваются страны на современном международном рынке, предложены пути преодоления выявленных сложностей (инвестирование со стороны России, стремление к стабильности отношения валют друг к другу и к доллару США и т.д.). Цель исследования — выявить ключевые аспекты и перспективные направления развития торгово-­экономического сотрудничества России и Ирана. Использовались методы изучения научных публикаций, анализа статистических данных и показателей экономического развития, а также сравнительный анализ. Эти методы позволили глубже понять текущее состояние отношений и выделить ключевые направления для их развития.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>trade turnover</kwd><kwd>sanctions</kwd><kwd>Russian-Iranian cooperation</kwd><kwd>export</kwd><kwd>import</kwd><kwd>economic growth</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>товарооборот</kwd><kwd>санкции</kwd><kwd>сотрудничество России и Ирана</kwd><kwd>экспорт</kwd><kwd>импорт</kwd><kwd>экономический рост</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Ashkalov, A.I., Redkina, R.E., Rud, N.Y., &amp; Piskovatskaya, M.N.
