Iranian insurance firms have insured Iranian oil tankers after the Geneva nuclear deal.
The National Iranian Oil Company's director for international affairs, Mohsen Qamsari said that no foreign company has accepted to provide insurance services to Iranian tankers four months after the deal, according to the hana new agency.
Foreign companies say it is still not justified for them to provide insurance services to Iranian tankers.
