Iranian state media say Iran's neighbours are expanding trade and transport ties with Tehran even as the United States unveils Task Force Iron Gate to restrict Iran's land-based commerce. Press TV and Tehran Times reported that US pressure had not stopped Iran's foreign trade, citing its geography and links with China, Russia, Pakistan and Turkey. The reports are based on Iranian officials and did not include independent data on trade volumes. Tehran Chamber also opened a representative office in Khorgos on Saturday.
