TEHRAN, Oct. 26 (MNA) – Iraq has been the major importer of Iranian gasoline since the country began to export domestically produced fuel, Iran’s Customs Administration reported.
The report shows that 32 million liters of gasoline worth 370 billion rial (some $37 million) have been exported to foreign countries.
Iraq, Afghanistan and Armenia were the major buyers of Iranian gasoline, while Iraq’s imports accounted for the 47 percent of the total figure.
