“If oil exports are excluded, Afghanistan would be considered Iran’s biggest export destination,” the official was quoted as saying by IRNA.  A third of Afghanistan’s domestic demand for goods enters that country through Dogharoun border terminal located in the border city of Taybad in Khorasan Razavi Province, which also accounts for 50% of the Iranian province’s annual exports, according to Financial Tribune.
