According to Director General of Trade Promotion Organization of Iran’s Arab and African Countries Bureau Farzad Piltan, Iraq, the UAE, Oman, Kuwait, Syria, Qatar, Jordan, Lebanon and Bahrain were the main destinations.

“The export value shows a $3.5 billion decline compared with the similar period of last year. The fall in value has to do with the closure of borders due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pandemic,” the official was quoted.
