The country conducted transactions with 150 countries during the mentioned period of time, he noted.

Exports stood at $28 billion, while imports surpassed $37.4 billion in the 8-month period, he added.

UAE, China, and Turkey were the main exporters to Iran, while Iraq, China, and UAE were the main importers of Iranian goods, he said.
