New records from the Iranian Customs Administration has shown that despite much controversy, some Iranians have in fact imported cars from the US over the past year.
During the 11 months of the current Iranian fiscal year (which started March 20), Iran imported 104 cars from the US, Trend reported with reference to the ISNA news agency.
This comes as a violation of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s order. In July he banned the government from importing cars from the US, arguing that the US-made cars belong to a "bankrupt" company and are so "heavy" and of low fuel-efficiency that American people do not fancy to buy them.
