The commercial relations between the two countries have been fluctuating from past to present. The factors that cause this situation are sometimes due to political and sometimes commercial relations between the two countries. As a requirement of democracy, the change of state administration on the Turkish and Iranian sides is of great importance in the position and course of the commercial relations between the two countries. In addition to the political situation, sanctions from countries such as the United States of America (USA) and the European Union and crises within the country or in the world greatly affect it.
