Iran inks oil products deal with Afghanistan

Iran signed an agreement with Afghanistan on Monday to export one million tons per year of gasoil, gasoline and jet fuel to the neighbouring country starting next year, the official IRNA news agency reported.

The Islamic state, which was long dependent on imported gasoline for 30%-40% of its consumption, said last year it had started exporting the fuel. The sales were confirmed to Reuters by trade sources, but it was unknown the time where the cargoes were being exported. (Reuters)
