The banned foreign items resemble goods produced in Iran, and the decision has been made to support national production, reported Presidential Office website. 

Efforts have been underway for a long time to replace domestically-produced goods with their foreign counterparts in a bid to promote production and generate jobs for the youth, IRNA reported.

The issue has been given a new momentum after the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution designated the current Iranian year as the ‘Year of Production and Employment’ in line with Economy of Resistance.
