Iran has banned the export of steel products, local media on Tuesday reported customs authorities as saying, after airstrikes targeted its steel industry in the war with Israel and the United States.
Fars news agency reported a directive from the Islamic republic’s customs authorities “regarding the prohibition of the export” of steel, including slab, sheet and strip products, effective from April 26.
Earlier this month, Iran’s two largest steelmakers announced they were halting production following attacks on their factories. (AFP)
