Late in December, Iranian Deputy Industry, Mine and Trade Minister Hossein Modarres Khiabani said that the country's trade balance stands at $65bln in the past 9 months despite the US sanctions.
Over $32.5 billion worth of goods were exported from Iran over the past nine months, as the country's trade balance stands at $65 billion, taking into account the total imports, Modarres Khiabani said on Wednesday.
His comments came as Iran is speeding up efforts to diversify its economy away from oil as normal crude sales have fallen significantly as a result of the American sanctions.
