Also, Greece had indirectly called for Iran's gas exports since the European country's officials believed that Iran could transfer its gas to Greece through Turkey and then to other countries across the Europe.
Other countries, which entered into direct gas talks with Iran, include Germany (a member of the world powers negotiating with Tehran over its nuclear program), Poland, Japan, Austria, Oman, Turkey and Iraq.
According to the sources, the European and other countries' officials and analysts believe Iran is the safest supplier of energy in the world.
In March, Managing Director of the National Iranian Gas Exporting Company Alireza Kameli said Iran is in talks with several countries for selling more gas.
"Negotiations for Iran's gas sale have never been halted and we are currently in talks with many countries," he said.
He announced that Iran is currently talking with Armenia, Azerbaijan, Oman and Iraq for gas exports, adding that talks have also been held with Indian officials.
Kameli said Iran would be producing more gas than it needs domestically once new phases of the giant South Pars Gas Field come on stream.
Iran sits atop the world's largest gas reserves. It is currently producing more than 700 mcm/d of sour gas for petrochemical factories, power plants, domestic industries, oil wells and households. A portion of this production is exported.
