VP: Iran's Sales of Nanotechnology Products Up by 20 Percent

"Iran has entered the stage of gaining economic profits from its scientific advances in the field of nanotechnology," Sattari said.

He reiterated that the sale of nanotechnology products has increased by one fifth.

"Despite Iran's economic hardships during the sanctions-era, the country's nanotechnology has witnessed an annual increase of 120 percent during the mentioned period," the Iranian vice-president added.

In relevant remarks in May, Sattari announced that the country had exported its first nano product to South Korea.

"This move has changed our world ranking in the nano sector from seven to the sixth position," Sattari said.

He noted that this measure has been taken after removal of the sanctions which is a great step forward in the nano sector.

Sattari said that the removal of the West-imposed sanctions has helped Iran to achieve remarkable breakthroughs in scientific and engineering fields.

Iran and the six world powers held several rounds of talks in Geneva, Lausanne and Vienna before striking a final agreement in Vienna on July 14 to end a 13-year-old nuclear standoff.

After the agreement, the UN Security Council unanimously endorsed a draft resolution turning into international law the JCPOA reached between Iran and the 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany) group of countries.
