TEHRAN, Aug. 18 (MNA) – The Majlis approved on Tuesday a bill on “how to protect border rivers and seas from oil pollution”.
146 MPs voted in favor of the bill, 10 against, and 14 abstained.
Iran borders the Gulf of Oman, the Persian Gulf, and the Caspian Sea which is the world’s largest inland body of water.
Three rivers also form portions of Iran’s international boundaries. The Aras River lies along the border with Armenia and Azerbaijan, the Atrek River borders Turkmenistan, and Arvandrud River, is part of the border with Iraq. Arvandrud River is the only river which is capable of sailing.
