Disasters, Conflicts and Migration
Natural Disasters |
||
---|---|---|
Type |
Occurs |
Comments / Details |
Drought |
Yes |
Iran is susceptible to drought primarily due to its geographical location and topography, characterized by arid and semiarid climates with significant desert expanses. The presence of mountain ranges, such as the Zagros and Alborz Mountains, obstructs moist air masses, leading to low precipitation levels in central and eastern regions. The country's diverse climates include arid, semiarid, and cold desert types, with the central plateau experiencing extremes in temperature. Iran faces water resource challenges exacerbated by population growth, agricultural demands, and overexploitation, contributing to groundwater depletion and heightened drought risks. |
Earthquakes |
Yes |
In the UNDP's report on reducing disaster risk, Iran is ranked number one in the list of countries with the largest average number of earthquakes per year with a magnitude equal to or greater than 5.5 on the Richter scale. It is also ranked one of the highest in terms of relative vulnerability and also in terms of the number of people killed per year as a result of earthquakes. The seismicity of Iran and its general vulnerability to earthquakes have been graphically and catastrophically illustrated by the Bam earthquake in December 2003, in which thousands of people were killed, and in the May 2004 earthquake in the Alborz Mountains, an event that magnitude equal to or greater than 5.5 on the Richter shook Tehran and produced 155 aftershocks in three days. The particular geological setting of Iran means that it is particularly prone to shallow (<10 km deep) earthquakes. In recent years, there have been some major earthquakes hit the north-west of Iran (Azerbaijan province) and south-east (Sistan & Baluchistan province). An earthquake registered 7.8 on the Richter scale occurred in Sistan & Baluchistan province in south-eastern Iran in April 2013. In November 2017, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 occurred on the Iran-Iraq border which had 600 casualties on the Iran and Iraq side. In January 2023, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.9 struck hit the city of Khoy in West Azerbaijan province. Approximately 70 villages were reported to have damage. The affected area witnessed damage to buildings and infrastructure, along with power outages in certain neighborhoods. |
Epidemics |

Iran is renowned for its diverse climate, and various regions experience extreme temperatures during the summer season (25 June–25 August). One notable area with extremely high temperatures is the Lut Desert, also known as Dasht-e Lut. Located in south-eastern Iran, the Lut Desert has recorded some of the highest ground temperatures on Earth. In 2005, NASA's Aqua satellite recorded surface temperatures in the Lut Desert as high as 70.7 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, several southern parts of Iran, including cities like Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, and Abadan, are characterized by extremely high temperatures during the summer months. These areas, located along the Persian Gulf, experience scorching weather influenced by the warm waters of the Gulf, leading to hot and humid conditions. The city of Bandar Abbas, located in the province of Hormozgan, and Bushehr, along with Abadan in the Khuzestan Province, are known for their challenging climates, making summers particularly intense in terms of heat. |
Flooding |
Yes |
Torrential rain and storms cause floods in most parts of Iran each year. It mostly causes severe damage to the villages, access roads, infrastructures of cities, agricultural lands & farms.

More than 2000 people relocated and most of the infrastructures were fully damaged. Heavy rains and flash flooding that began in March 2019 have affected 23 of 31 provinces across Iran. The flooding has killed 70 people and injured 613 people according to the authorities. It is estimated that 12.5 million people have been affected. Initial information indicates that 170,000 people in two provinces have been displaced. While information regarding humanitarian needs is still limited, the most affected sectors are reportedly in water, sanitation and hygiene, health, shelter, and agriculture. Flash floods and mudslides triggered by heavy rains in July 2022 have led to deaths and injuries in Imamzadeh Davood, a shrine in north-western Tehran. The ongoing rainfall since mid-July has caused widespread floods and landslides across 26 provinces, resulting in at least 95 deaths, 200 missing, and numerous injuries.

Demands for increased women's rights drove the unrest for several months. |
International Conflict |
Yes |
After the exit of the US from JCPOA in May 2018, the international relations of Iran with Western countries deteriorated and in 2019 and 2020 resulted in several conflicts between Iran and US. The deadly bombing in Kerman City, targeting a commemorative ceremony for Qasem Soleimani, occurred on January 3, 2024, marking the fourth anniversary of Soleimani's death. The attack, claimed by the Islamic State group (IS), resulted in some fatalities and numerous injuries. Following the terrorist attacks of Kerman in 2024, Iran launched missile strikes on neighboring Pakistan and Iraq, drawing condemnations from both countries and heightening concerns of escalating tensions in the Middle East On January 18, 2024, Pakistan conducted military strikes inside Iran, targeting Baloch militants in the city of Saravan. The strikes resulted in Iranian officials reporting the deaths of nine foreign nationals, including women and children. The following day, Pakistan's caretaker prime minister, Anwaar ul Haq Kakar, announced the restoration of normal diplomatic relations with Iran. |
Internally Displaced Persons |
Yes |
Iran faces severe challenges related to water resources, including rising demand, salinization, groundwater overexploitation, and increased drought frequency. The ongoing drought has placed 2 to 20 million people at high to medium risk of drought-related impacts. In recent years and lack of water in the villages has resulted in lots of families leaving villages and moving to main cities. It is expected that in the next 30 years, lots of people will leave the south and southeast of Iran due to drought. |
Refugees Present |
Yes |
Iran hosts one of the largest refugee populations in the world, the majority of whom come from Afghanistan. Around 780,000 registered Afghan refugees and another 2.6 million who are either undocumented or have received a headcount laissez-passer live in Iran. 96% of Afghan refugees live in urban areas, while the other 4% live in approximately 20 refugee settlements across the country. Among all Afghans in Iran, 500,000–1,000,000 arrived in the country after the Taliban takeover in August 2021. In recent years, the Iranian Government has slowly introduced policies to increase the provision and renewal of Amayesh cards. Amayesh cards grant registered refugees conditional freedom of movement, temporary work permits, and access to the national education and healthcare systems. Primary healthcare is available for free for both refugees and undocumented people. Amayesh cardholders can also access Iran’s Universal Public Health Insurance Scheme. All children in Iran have access to primary and secondary education regardless of their status. In April 2022, the Iranian Ministry of Interior conducted a headcount of all undocumented Afghan nationals in Iran. The provision of headcount laissez-passers was initially valid until 22 October 2022 but has been extended until 20 April 2023 |

Comments / Details |
Primary Road Transport |
November to February |
The mountainous regions in the northern and western parts of the country are affected by snowfalls. This increases the risk of accidents and slows down traffic. During that season the vehicles are equipped with chains, which are used if and when necessary. The road maintenance services are equipped with snowploughs. |
Secondary Road Transport |
November to February |
Roads leading to Afghan & Iraqi refugee camps are affected by snowfalls. Tehran-Qazvin-Zanjan-Tabriz highway (the main route to the west-northwest of Iran) is mostly covered by snow during the wintertime. Furthermore, the side roads, destined for the refugee settlements in the west of Iran (Uromiyeh-Kermanshah/Zanjan-Sardasht), are also affected by the cold weather of winter |
Rail Transport |
May to August |
Lack of wagons due to less importation of cotton from CIS countries to Iran. During Sep to April more wagons are available. Also, during the Iranian New Year (March) there might be wagon congestion or less availability of wagons. Priority is being given to passengers rather than cargo. |
Air Transport |
25 Sep to end of October (Hadj period) The whole year for Najaf |
Tehran has two main airports, Mehrabad and Imam Khomeini (IKA). Mehrabad is located inside Tehran and is used for domestic flights and Hadj. IKA is used for international flights.

Waterway Transport |
|
N/A |
One of the main transit highways is from the southern ports (Bandar Abbas, Shahid Rajaiee Port) to Tehran. This main road starts from Bandar Abbas and passes through Kerman, Yazd, and Isfahan and reaches Tehran at the northern side of Iran. Most cargo transit via this road (from port to customs and visa-versa) and during the Iranian new year (March) there is a congestions of trucks. In addition, this situation is similar in most roads and provinces based on holiday travels of the Iranian population (Especially to the north of Iran to the Caspian Sea).

Transit Regime
The customs clearance for cargo in transit is less complicated than the local imported cargo, as the customs authority’s responsibility is to make sure of the safe passage of the in-transit cargo from the entry point up to the departure point, all cargo in transit is submitted to convoy fees and escort arrange (if required) by the customs. The cargo document should indicate clearly the statement of (Cargo in Transit to – name of final destination country).
When necessary to put any levies on the foreign transit goods "the state's transport and terminals organization" will consider the matter and with due regard to the reciprocal action of other countries towards transit goods of the Islamic republic of Iran, will submit the appropriate proposal for such levies to "the high council of transport co-ordination" to be approved by the council of ministers. Foreign transit goods are exempt from obtaining laboratory views and licenses from the Iranian Standard Organization. However, in cases of strong suspicion, customs reserve the right to defer to laboratory judgment without objection.
Iran, Islamic Republic of - 2 Logistics Infrastructure
Overview
Iran has a diverse and well-connected logistics infrastructure. The country features an extensive road network, efficient railways, and major ports like Bandar Abbas and Shahid Rajaee Port facilitating maritime trade. Tehran's airports, particularly Imam Khomeini International Airport, serve as crucial hubs for air cargo. Customs procedures have been undergoing digitalization to streamline clearance processes, and Iran's participation in regional trade agreements impacts logistics. The presence of distribution centers, warehouses, and Free Trade Zones supports storage and distribution activities. Efforts to integrate digital technologies aim to enhance efficiency and real-time tracking. However, economic sanctions and the need for continuous infrastructure maintenance challenge the sector's development.

Shahid Bahonar has 12 berths and its notable feature is a draft of 10.2 meters at low tide, making it one of the deepest ports in the country after Imam Khomeini and Shahid Rajaee ports. In the past, it was the main port of Bandar Abbas and, being located within the city, attracts a large number of tourists and passengers daily, playing a significant role in the economic prosperity of the region.

Customs Guidance
At Imam Khomeini Port, customs formalities are crucial in ensuring the smooth flow of import and export processes while maintaining compliance with port and customs regulations. Upon arrival of cargo, the tally crew meticulously inspects and registers the status of received and exported goods. Any deficiencies in packaging are duly noted in the tally report. If necessary, packages are opened and inspected by the tally crew, cargo owner, or their agent for re-packing.
To facilitate the release and delivery of cargo from warehouses and open storage yards, a customs release permit issued by the customs authority is mandatory. Holders of the release permit must have official authorization on behalf of the cargo owner during the cargo release process. Cargo owners or their agents must adhere to port and customs regulations and utilize appropriate vehicles for cargo transport. Cargo owners or their agents are responsible for arranging the immediate transport of cargo upon receiving the release permit. Delays in transport may result in cargo being discharged from vessels and delivered to warehouses or open storage yards at the expense of the cargo owner or their representative.
Once the cargo is released and transferred out of the port terminal, the cargo owner or agent assumes full responsibility for the cargo's safety and integrity. It is essential to exercise utmost care and attention during cargo receipt and transfer, as the port authority bears no responsibility after the cargo is released to the owner.

Iran, Islamic Republic of - 2.1.4 Port of Chabahar Shahid Beheshti
Port Overview
The port of Chabahar is located in southeastern Iran, north of Oman Sea. One of the features that distinguishes it from other Iranian ports and ports on the southern coast of the Persian Gulf, is its access to international open seas.
Currently, Chabahar port consists of two important commercial ports, named Shahid Beheshti and Shahid Kalantari, on the eastern shore of Chabahar Gulf located in the province of Sistan and Balochistan beside the warm water of the Oman Sea and the Indian Ocean, and being adjacent to two countries of Pakistan and Afghanistan, and having access to the international waters, and CIS countries, and also being adjacent to Free Trade-Industrial Zone, hence it can play as the regional Hub port.
Afghan traders have responded with enthusiasm to Chabahar ports' potential as a reliable trade and transit offering. Chabahar is considered to offer better transit times for inland transportation to Afghanistan—e.g. it takes 14 days to cover the 1,520 km from Karachi to Kabul including transit clearance and border crossing protocols, while only 6 days to cover the 1840 kms from Chabahar to Kabul.
In July 2020 Islamic Republic Railways (RAI) began track laying on the Chabahar–Zahedan railway project following a ceremony held by RAI officials and representatives from the Government of Iran from the Ministry for Transport. Officials underlined the significance of the railroad and noted that due to its strategic position, Chabahar Port is going to be a gateway for the country’s trade. The railway will provide a link between Chabahar in the Gulf of Oman and connect with the Trans-Iranian Railway, allowing for direct rail freight services between Chabahar port and the rest of Iran, as well as landlocked Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Afghanistan.
This section provides specifications of Shahid Beheshti port as the main international port in chabahar.

Additional Notes |
Iran, Islamic Republic of - 3 Services and Supply
The quality and availability of services and supplies in Iran depend on various factors, such as the type of service, the level of regulation, the source of funding, and the geographic location.
In comparison to the neighbouring countries, transportation in Iran, especially road transportation is quite cost-efficient. Iran's government in order to strengthen people’s livelihood keeps the fuel price down and as a result movement of goods in the country is quite cost-efficient.
Economic sanctions imposed on the country lead to limited access to international markets and technology, thereby challenging the supply chain in various sectors.
Due to the access of Iran to the open oceans, the Iranian international road transporters are quite active in the country, transiting the goods from southern ports to the neighbouring countries. As Iran is a member of the CMR and TIR convention, international road transporters also are active in moving goods to the neighbouring countries.
The government is responsible for establishing policies and planning for highways and road transport, as well as constructing, maintaining, and managing ports and commercial maritime affairs.
Disclaimer: Inclusion of company information in the LCA does not imply any business relationship between the supplier and WFP / Logistics Cluster, and is used solely as a determinant of services, and capacities.
Please note: WFP / Logistics Cluster maintain complete impartiality and are not in a position to endorse, comment on any company's suitability as a reputable service provider.
Iran, Islamic Republic of - 3.1 Fuel
Fuel Overview
In the past, Iran had limited domestic fuel refining capacity, and domestic demand relied on imports of refined products, especially gasoline. In response to international sanctions and the resulting difficulty in purchasing refined products, Iran’s domestic refining capacity expanded. As a result, since 2018 and after completion of several refinery projects, Iran stopped importing petrol and began exporting this product. Currently, Iran has a well-established infrastructure for fuel supply and storage, with numerous refineries and storage facilities strategically located across different regions.
One of the strategies to control inflation in the country have always been subsidizing petrol price. The significant price gap of petrol in Iran and neighbouring countries has increased the fuel trafficking.
Fuel distribution in Iran involves both government-owned companies and private distributors. The National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), a state-owned entity, plays a central role in fuel production, refining, and distribution. Additionally, several private companies are authorized to import, distribute, and sell fuel products under government regulations.
For more information on government and fuel provider contact details, please see the following links: 4.1 Government Contact List and 4.7 Fuel Providers Contact List.
Information may also be found at: http://www.mytravelcost.com/petrol-prices/ which is updated monthly.
Fuel Pricing
Fuel prices are fixed by government of Iran. The government subsidies fuel and each car owner is entitled to certain amount of fuel in one month – 60 L – that can be purchased at the price of IRR 15,000 IRR. Thereafter, fuel can be purchased at price of 30,000 IRR.
Fuel Prices per Litre as of: 26 FEB 2024 (local currency and USD - $) |

Iran, Islamic Republic of - 3.2 Transporters
For the first time 'Road Transport Deputy' was raised as one of the five deputies of the 'Road and Transport Ministry' in organizational structure in 1982. Establishing the special limited stock of public terminals of good vehicles was approved in 1988 in order to exploit, develop, maintain and construction of public terminals and en-route welfare-service complexes. After establishment of this company which its public council management affairs was undertaken by Road and Transport Minister, practically, part of current regulations in public transport affairs were carried-on by this governmental company.
In the 50th session of 'State Administrative High Council' according to the common proposal of the 'Road and Transport Ministry' and 'Civil Service and Administrative Affairs Organization' with separating the duties of Road and Transport from respective ministry organizations and integrating into 'Special Stock Company of Good Public Transport Terminals', State Terminals and Transport Organization was established and the first formation of 'State Terminals and Transport Organization' was approved in 1995. At the outset, this organization had two affiliated company in the name of 'Islamic Republic of Iran Transport Company' and 'IRI International Transport Company' which according to the ratification of High Council Administration 'IRI Transport Company' was separated from organization in 2002 and the name of the organization changed to 'Road Maintenance and Transport Organization'.
For the first time in 32 years, an Iranian national has been appointed as member of TIR Executive Board (TIRExB). From Iranian Customs Administration (ICA), Mr. Mostafa Ayati was elected by unanimous vote as a member of the TIR Executive Board (TIRExB), a subsidiary body of the TIR Administrative Committee, which is composed of 9 members. The TIRExB election took place during the sixtieth session of the TIR Administrative Committee in Geneva on 07 November 2018. The Convention has 28 members from the European Union (EU), America, China, Russia, CIS countries, Caucasus and Turkey. Previously, Iranians had been nominated for the position for three times though they failed to receive enough votes.
TIR Executive Board (TIRExB), a subsidiary body of the TIR Administrative Committee, is composed of 9 members, each from different Contracting Parties to the TIR Convention. The TIRExB supervises and provides support in the application of the TIR procedure at the national and international levels.
The Customs Convention on the International Transport of Goods under Cover of TIR Carnets (TIR Convention, 1975) is one of the most successful international transport conventions and is so far the only universal Customs transit system in existence. To date, it has 70 contracting parties, including the European Union. It covers the whole of Europe and reaches out to North Africa and the Near and Middle East. More than 35,000 operators are authorized to use the TIR system and around 3 million TIR transports are carried out per year. The TIR Convention facilitates the international carriage of goods from one or more customs offices of departure to one or more customs offices of destination and through as many countries as necessary.
Approximately 428 million mt of goods were transited via Iran during the first quarter of the Iranian calendar year 2017-2018, according to an official at the Iranian Roads Maintenance Organization. Oil products accounted for 13.4 million mt and non-oil products constituted 6.8 million mt of transited goods in the three-month period, the official mentioned. The transited consignments mostly consisted of fuel, chemical materials, cotton, home appliances, and foodstuff. Iraq, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates were the main countries which transited goods via Iran.
Transit of goods via Iran roads by 27.9 percent in the past Iranian calendar year, which ended on March 20, compared to the year before. Over 12.3 million tons of goods were transited via the country in the previous calendar year.
Iran’s trucking fleet is largely available at the terminals. Companies are involved in both the provision of road transportation and shipping services (freight forwarders) and can provide internal transport services for food and non-food commodities.
There are very limited number of transport companies who own their own fleet. The drivers who have their own trucks are sub-contracted by truck agencies. Based on the latest statistics of Iran Road Maintenance and Transportation Organization, just 4% of whole trucks in Iran have ownership of the transport companies. 82% of trucks are in the ownership of drivers.
More than 117 million mt of goods is a portion of international transport (import and export) during 2018 in Iran.
The total number of different types of trucks in Iran is 423,000 which includes 144,000 containerized trailers, 4,200 Bonkers and Tankers (for different types of fuel), and around 270,000 other types of transporter trucks.

Iran, Islamic Republic of - 3.4 Telecommunications
Iran’s telecommunications industry is almost entirely state-owned, dominated by the Telecommunication Company of Iran (TCI). Telecommunication Company of Iran, or TCI (Persian: شرکت مخابرات ایران) is the fixed-line incumbent operator in Iran offering services in fixed telephony, DSL, and data services for both residential and business customers, throughout the country. It was established in 1971 with a new organizational structure as the main responsible administration for the entire telecommunication affairs.
TCI maintains 30 provincial subsidiaries and two brands - MCI (Hamrahe Avval or Mobile Company of Iran) and FCI (Ashenaye Avval or Fixed-line Company of Iran) that provide fixed-line telephone service, data services, mobile services, high-speed internet and soon wireless services. About 99% of the fixed-line telephone subscribers and 61% of the mobile subscribers in Iran belong to TCI's affiliates.
In 2016 the Director of TCI announced the merger of its provincial subsidiaries and the MCI into a single business unit. TCI has utilized equipment and services such as digital switching centers, optical fiber cables, mobile phones, data networks, satellite services, and telephone special services. TCI manufactures more than 80% of the required equipment inside Iran. Iran Telecommunication Industries (ITI) was also founded in the same year to manufacture the required equipment for the national long-distance network. TCI has a monopoly over Iran's fixed-line infrastructure, and it was until 2010, Iran's largest cellular operator (MCI) and Internet service provider and data communication operator (DCI).

Iran, Islamic Republic of - 3.5 Food and Additional Suppliers
The wide range of temperature fluctuation in different parts of the country and the multiplicity of climatic zones make it possible to cultivate a diverse variety of crops, including cereals (wheat, barley, rice, and maize (corn)), fruits (dates, figs, pomegranates, melons, and grapes), vegetables, cotton, sugar beets, sugarcane and pistachios, nuts, olives, spices e.g. saffron (World's largest producer with 81% of the world's total output), raisin(world's third largest producer & second largest exporter), tea, tobacco, Berberis (world's largest producer) and medical herbs. More than 2,000 plant species are grown in Iran; only 100 of which are being used in pharmaceutical industries. The land covered by Iran's natural flora is four times that of Europe.
Wheat, rice, and barley are the country's major crops. The Iranian grain sector is highly regulated. Producers receive subsidized access to input costs such as fertilizer and pesticides, as well as a guaranteed support price for their crops.
Rice: Iran's total rice production stands at 2.2 million tons per annum whereas annual consumption is about three million tons. UAE, Pakistan, India, Thailand, and Indonesia are some of the countries that Iran imports rice from to cover their consumption needs. The average per capita consumption of rice in Iran is 45.5 kg, which makes Iranians the 13th biggest rice consumers. Rice is mostly produced in northern Iran. Rice has been cultivated for many years in Mazandaran and Gilan Province of Iran. In the Northern Province, many indica rice cultivars including Tarom, Gerdeh, Hashemi, Hasani, Neda, and Gharib have been bred by farmers.
Pistachio: Iran ranks as the world's largest pistachio producer and exporter followed by USA and Turkey. After oil and carpets, pistachios are Iran's biggest exports: about 200,000 tons for $840 million. More than 350,000 people earn a living from the nut, most of them in vast groves of the desert oases in the southeast. Iran's share in the global pistachio market reached 50 percent.
Saffron: Saffron is cultivated in many regions of the country, the provinces of North Khorasan, Khorasan Razavi, and South Khorasan in the northeast have the highest production share. Iran's saffron is exported to the United Arab Emirates, Spain, Japan, Turkmenistan, France, Italy and the US. The northeastern Khorasan Razavi province exported 57 tons of saffron worth $156.5 million to 41 countries. The high production cost comes from the exhaustive process of extracting the stamens from the flower and the number of flowers necessary to produce small amounts of spice but the process is in the process of being automated now. Iran is the largest producer of saffron with 93.7% of the world's total production.
Tea: Iran traditionally is a tea drinker country with lots of tea farmlands in the north of Iran. There are several tea packaging factories in Iran that either process the locally farmed tea or package the imported tea from India, Pakistan, or other East Asian countries.
Fruits: Iran is among the largest producers of berries and stone fruits in the world, especially pomegranates, dates, figs, and cherries.

Iran, Islamic Republic of - 3.5.2 Additional Suppliers
Overview
Iran has a well-established and functional local food market that can respond to the needs of the consumers and also facilitates the export of food. The local supply chain of food is well-functional but it is traditional and amount of the waste is quite high. Given the available supply chain in the country, in times of emergency, the requested food can be supplied from the local market and even in the time of the COVID lock down, Iran was one of the countries that did not face any shortages of food items in the markets. It should be noted that as the main part of the food chain in Iran is working with small businesses that are working traditionally with low capacity, in the time of emergency the whole sellers are usually the best option to acquire the requested items in a short time.
For more information on suppliers’ contact details, please see the following link: 4.10 Supplier Contact List.

Electricity and Power
For more information: http://irandataportal.syr.edu/ministry-of-energy
The power sector in Iran is largely controlled by the government, through the Ministry of Energy and its subsidiaries, such as TAVANIR, which is responsible for the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity. However, the government also allows private participation in the sector, through independent power producers (IPPs), build-operate-transfer (BOT) contracts, and power purchase agreements (PPAs).
Today, Iran generates 90% of its electricity. Iran is wealthy in resources with the world’s second-largest natural gas reserves and the fourth-largest verified crude oil reserves Most of the electricity production in Iran is from fossil gas and oil sources, and a small share of it is related to hydropower, coal, renewable and nuclear energy sources.
It is worth mentioning that, Iran is the world's largest energy subsidizer, leading to highly wasteful consumption patterns.
Financial Services
There are 29 banks in Iran with 22,818 branches in different parts of the country. Whether owned by the government or private, all banks are operating under the supervision of the central banks of Iran. Despite the wide range of different banks in Iran, given the competition among the banks, all of them almost provide similar financial services. Due to international sanctions on the Iranian banking system, currently, there are no international banking services available in Iran and the only exception is related to international humanitarian activities in Iran such as UN and INGOs.
Banks usually do not provide currency exchange services and in case of providing the services, it will be quite expensive. Most of the banks also have an exchange office that is responsible for related services. There are also several exchange offices in the main cities that are not related to the banks.
Pasargad Bank

Iran, Islamic Republic of - 3.7 Waste Management Infrastructure Assessment
Overview
http://irandataportal.syr.edu/ministry-of-energy
Municipalities are responsible for the management of waste and disposal. There are sub-contractors who are in charge of collecting waste and disposals. These contractors have factories/facilities for recycling plastics and papers as well as municipalities. There are different garbage boxes distributed by municipalities and subcontractors for different types of waste and disposals. Regarding the policy of information sharing which recently circulated via media to inform the Iranian population about the waste and recycle system; Iranian citizens are aware of the waste collection and management system.
Non-Hazardous Waste Disposal
Municipalities are focal points for all types of disposals all around the country. There are several hubs in place to gather different types of disposals and manage to eliminate or recycle them.
In capital cities and central cities in every province, there are plenty of trash bins around streets and alleys to gather all disposals. For several years the government tried to improve the culture of usage of trash bins for different types of disposals.
Hazardous Waste Disposal
Most of the hazardous disposals are collected inside the plants hospitals or other industrial places under the control of HSSE Managers of industries or related places. On the other hand, most cities in Iran are connected to the wastewater network.
Medical Waste Overview and Disposal
According to Article 7 of Iran’s Waste Management Law, after the decontamination or normalization of medical waste, the management of it falls under the responsibility of municipalities.
The Waste Management Organization, on behalf of the Municipality, is responsible for receiving decontaminated waste, transporting it, and ultimately disposing of it. This process has been outsourced to the private institutes.
