[Iran Seeks Trade Breakthrough, Finalizes Preferential Trade Agreement with Oman] According to a report by Al Jazeera on August 22, Iran has finalized a preferential trade agreement with Oman. As the United States continues to intensify economic pressure on Iran, Tehran is seeking to mitigate external shocks by expanding regional trade. Rabihavi, head of the West Asia Office of Iran's Trade Promotion Organization, stated that the agreement is expected to be submitted to parliament for review next month. He added that Iran has made significant progress in improving border and port infrastructure to expand trade with neighboring countries. 'Through a series of measures taken over the past two years, this organization is determined to promote and expand trade exchanges with regional countries.' Trump had previously referred to the financial pressure campaign against Iran as an 'economic D-Day' and warned that any country engaging in trade with Tehran would face severe economic consequences.
