Morteza Zamaniyan, deputy minister of economic affairs and finance for economic policy and strategy, told parliament that the enemy had sought to disrupt domestic production during the war.
“Those seeking to defeat this country know very well that as long as production continues, the country cannot be defeated,” he said.
Addressing Parliament, Zamaniyan said the government repaired damage to border facilities within a short period through cooperation with the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development. Customs authorities had also cleared three million tons of goods.

He said no customs office had been shut down during the war and no store shelf had been left empty.
The government had suspended or amended numerous regulations governing imports and exports to ensure the uninterrupted movement of goods throughout the 40-day conflict, he added.

Drawing on the experience of the war, the government has moved to institutionalize reforms aimed at simplifying trade procedures and reducing delays at border crossings.
Zamaniyan said a draft reform package had been submitted to the government’s Economic Commission, with seven major obstacles to imports and exports identified for revision. 
One key measure addresses the duplication of border inspections. Under the revised procedures, each consignment is sampled only once.
Zamaniyan said economic diplomacy had also played an important role in improving cross-border trade. During the war, the head of Iran’s Customs Administration inspected approximately 7,000 kilometers of border routes.
He said many inspection and administrative procedures should instead be carried out at customs offices within the provinces, reducing unnecessary delays at border crossings.

Direct transit and further regulatory changes
A measure authorizing direct, uninterrupted cargo transit was issued in recent days, Zamaniyan said, adding that its full impact would become apparent in the coming months.

He added that economic and trade restrictions had made the current confrontation particularly challenging, arguing that more countries had cooperated with the sanctions and restrictions imposed on Iran than had supported its adversaries during the military conflict.
Despite these pressures, Zamaniyan expressed confidence that the country would overcome the economic challenges through cooperation between the government and parliament.
