Iran-Qatar trade resumed with reopening of Al Ruwais port to Iranian goods
According to IRNA, quoted from Iran's Trade Promotion Organization, Abbas Abdolkhani, referring to the resumption of Iran-Qatar trade, stated: After approximately five months of halt in the maritime transport route for goods between Dayyer Port in Iran and Al Ruwais Port in Qatar, following continuous follow-ups by the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Doha and coordination with relevant Qatari officials, Al Ruwais Port has once again begun accepting Iranian goods.
Referring to the importance of this trade route, he added: Al Ruwais Port is considered one of the most important gateways for Iranian goods entering the Qatari market, and the resumption of activity on this maritime route will play a significant role in facilitating trade, reducing transportation costs, increasing the speed of goods supply, and enhancing the volume of commercial exchanges between the two countries.
The Commercial Attaché of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Doha stated: A diverse range of Iranian goods is exported to the Qatari market through this route, the most important of which include various types of fresh fruits and vegetables, produce, dried fruits, foodstuffs, aquatic products, eggs and protein products, construction materials, stone, white cement, mineral products, handmade and machine-made carpets, and other goods needed by the Qatari market.
Post-war era: smart reconstruction, not a return to past: energy expert
TEHRAN- An oil and gas expert stated: Wars do not only destroy infrastructure; they also transform the logic of investment. Any country emerging from a security crisis faces two choices. The first is merely compensating for past damages, and the second is building a more resilient, competitive, and attractive economy for investment from the heart of the crisis.
According to ISNA, the full text of the commentary by Samaneh Gheybi, an oil and gas expert, provided to ISNA, is as follows:
Iran, too, finds itself at such a point after the third imposed war. Now, the main question is not how much capital we need; the more important question is where and how to deploy the existing capital.
In the post-war environment, government financial resources are limited, the private sector makes decisions cautiously, foreign investors assess the country's risk with greater sensitivity, and global markets continue to face geopolitical fluctuations. Under such conditions, successful investment is no longer the product of intuitive decisions or temporary pressures; it is the result of data-driven governance and the scientific selection of projects.
Studies show that even in an industry like oil and gas—which is considered the main engine of Iran's economy—it is impossible to implement all projects, and choices must be made among them. This selection must be based on the analysis of various scenarios, the economic value of each project, and its resilience to uncertainty.
