US firms can invest in post-sanctions Iran: Rouhani
Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani says American companies can seize the opportunity after the lifting of sanctions against Tehran to make investment in and transfer technology to the Islamic Republic.
In a meeting with managers of American trade, economic and industrial enterprises in New York on Friday, Rouhani added that Tehran sees no obstacles to the presence of US firms in Iran.
“The post-sanctions atmosphere has created new economic and political conditions which big trade, economic and industrial companies should take advantage of,” the Iranian president added.
He expressed confidence that possible obstacles and objections to US companies’ investment and activities in Iran would not last.
Rouhani said economic cooperation can bridge gaps between Iran and the United States.
He said Iran’s enormous energy resources, its geopolitical position and its regional security and stability together with the railway network connecting China and the Central Asia to the Sea of Oman have created a unique opportunity for economic activities in Iran.
On July 14, Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council – the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia – plus Germany finalized the text of a nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), in the Austrian capital of Vienna.
Under the JCPOA, limits will be put on Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for, among other things, the removal of all economic and financial bans against the Islamic Republic.
