Iran said on August 17, 2016 that Norway had offered the Islamic republic a $1-billion credit line following a meeting between their foreign ministers in Tehran. Borge Brende and Mohammad Javad Zarif signed three "export credit" deals aimed at funding development and infrastructure projects", Iran's foreign ministry said in a statement. Iran has struggled to tap international finance as many banks fear US penalties if they do business with the Islamic republic. / AFP PHOTO / IRANIAN PRESIDENCY / - / RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY CREDIT "AFP PHOTO /Iranian Presidency" - NO MARKETING NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS - DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS -/AFP/Getty Images
