Iran (IMNA) - Government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani stated on Monday that no private sector investors from the US will attend Iran Expo 2025, despite the ongoing indirect nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Washington. “…except for the Zionist regime (of Israel), we have no bans on investment by other countries, however, the current infrastructure is not right for US investment because no political relations have been established yet,” Mohajerani said during a press briefing at the trade fair.
Her comments follow unconfirmed reports suggesting that American businesses might be represented at the Seventh Export Potential Exhibition of the Islamic Republic of Iran, scheduled from April 28 to May 2 at the Tehran International Permanent Fairground. The speculation comes as indirect talks between Iran and the US, which began earlier this month in Oman and continued over the weekend in Italy, have raised hopes for progress on Iran’s nuclear program and potential relief from economic sanctions.
Iranian authorities have reiterated their neutral stance regarding the outcome of these negotiations, stating they are neither optimistic nor pessimistic.
According to the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran, more than 4,000 businesses from 110 countries have applied to participate in the flagship trade exhibition, which aims to showcase Iran’s economic and industrial capabilities and foster international trade ties. The event will also coincide with a summit focused on economic cooperation with African nations, with up to 40 ministers and deputy ministers from Africa expected to visit Tehran for meetings with Iranian officials and business leaders.
