BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 27. Iran has lifted its
ban on the export of several agricultural and food products,
Trend reports, citing
the country’s Trade Promotion Organization.
According to the report, the restrictions on the export of
honey, fish, olives, dates, figs, oranges, and potato starch have
been removed.
The ban had previously been imposed amid tensions arising from
the conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, during
which Iran restricted agricultural exports.
Meanwhile, as no tangible progress was made in the nuclear
negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, the situation escalated on
February 28, when the United States and Israel launched military
airstrikes against Iran. In retaliation, Iran initiated missile and
drone strikes targeting Israeli and U.S. installations in the
region. Following these developments, a two-week ceasefire
agreement was brokered on April 7 through Pakistan’s mediation.
However, during subsequent talks between the U.S. and Iran in
Islamabad on April 11, no consensus was reached.
On April 21, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he extended
the ceasefire until Iran submits its proposal and discussions are
concluded, one way or the other.
