Iran has started preparing for a possible long-term crisis by building reserves for the next two years, the country's First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref said, Fars news agency reported.
According to him, the government is already engaged in the creation of the necessary reserves, but it has not specified exactly what kind of reserves we are talking about.
