Iran Sees Positive Transit Impact From Potential Nuclear Talks Deal With US

(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 7. If the indirect talks between Iran and the US reach an agreement on Iran's nuclear program, it may have a positive impact on increasing transit through Iran, Javad Hedayati, the director-general of the Transit Office of Iran's Road and Transport Organization, told reporters, Trend reports.

According to him, ongoing talks between Iran and the US have had a positive impact on the transit of goods through the country. Overall, the discussions have had a positive impact on the country's trade and transit.

“However, an important issue is the lifting of sanctions against the country with an agreement. The lifting of sanctions on money, insurance, banking, and investment will have a direct positive impact on transit. The development of transit depends on the arrival of foreign investment, and foreign investment should be allowed to enter the trade sector,” he said.
