Iran Press/Iran news: Iran's Persian Gulf Star refinery plays a strategic role in energy production and maintaining a balance between Iran and other Persian Gulf states, and the refinery has, for the first time, been able to turn Iran from a net importer of petrol into an exporter of this strategic product.
