Tehran, Iran, August 23
By Mehdi Sepahvand - Trend:
Israeli-made goods are brought into Iran via suitcase trade, said Soheil Eskandari, an official with Iran’s Food and Drug Organization, adding the goods are “illegal and not to be consumed.”
Such goods will never receive distribution permit from the organization, he said, pointing to new images on social media in Iran of food packages with lines on them written in Hebrew, Fars news agency reported August 23.
The official underlined Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s remark that Iran should never promote Israeli-made goods, even in small quantities.
The Islamic Republic of Iran does not recognize Israel as a country and believes the Israeli state has illegally occupied the Palestinian lands.
