The production line will car parts in SKD method, IRNA quoted Iran Khodro deputy director for exports Abdolazim Sadian as saying.

In January, Nour Salem, a member of the Economy and Investment Committee in the Iraqi parliament, declared that this committee had suggested a ban on the import of Iranian-made cars, which have resulted in horrible car accidents due to manufacturing flaws.

Moreover, Iraq is setting forth a plan to import cars that suit its fuel resources, said Adnan al-Sharifi, the CEO of the state-owned car-import corporation.

"Iraqi fuel is well refined, something that Iranian companies have not observed," he added, according to Al Monitor.

The state-owned corporation for car imports stated that it had banned the import of Iran-made Saipa and Samand cars at the beginning of the year.
