Iran-Asefi-Energy
Iran on Sunday said the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz would be the best route for transfer of goods and energy.

Addressing domestic and foreign reporters at his weekly press conference, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi added, "Transfer of commodities or energy has its own logic. It follows up an economic logic. Therefore, the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz will be the best way in this respect.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran and the Persian Gulf littoral states have good cooperation in various fields. Transfer of energy can be also put on agenda in line with such cooperation."

Asefi added, "As for transfer of energy, we have received no official offer. There were certain topics published by media."
