US pressures fail to cut Iraqi Kurds, Iranian trade exchanges


(MENAFN) Iraqi Kurds have been participating in trade exchanges with Iran regardless of all the US pressures, Iranian consul general in Slemani, a city in Iraqi Kurdistan region, stated on Saturday.

That the Iraqi Kurd businessmen are attracted to Iranian commodities shows that the US has suffered defeat in its anti-Iran procedures, Sa'dollah Massoudian told the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).

Despite the world's criticism over Washington's anti-Iran procedures, US President Donald Trump put back one-sided sanctions on Tehran on November 5 and imposed as he claimed the "highest level" of economic blocks on the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Iranian products and commodities are significant for the Iraqi Kurds, and this has led the neighboring sellers to discover ways to continue economic ties with their Iranian counterparts, Massoudian said.
