Trade, economic and financial sanctions against Iran will be lifted once the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) takes effect, the Iranian deputy foreign minister told a meeting held at the initiative of Iran Chamber of Commerce to look into the country's economic prospects in the post-sanctions era.

Majid Takht-e Ravanchi further said, �The US has promised to help Iran buy and rent airliners. It is also committed itself to setting the stage for imports of carpets and pistachio from Iran.�

The Iranian diplomat said the final deal is expected to come into force four to six months from now.
