Early life and education

Ministerial activities

As a minister, Mehrabian travelled the world promoting Iran's commercial interests in friendly countries such as Qatar,[7] Belarus,[8] Egypt [9] and Venezuela.[10] He involved in the discussions of a potential World Oil Bank involving Russia and Venezuela,[11] and agreed on a cooperation protocol with the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[12] He also promoted Iran's bilateral links and financial support for Cuba.[13]

He expressed deep concern over the non-adherence of industrial states to their commitments to control the emission of greenhouse gases.[14]

He implemented policies to encourage production of cars powered by compressed natural gas (CNG).[15] Because Iran suffers from a lack of refining capacity, gasoline is rationed. Hundreds of thousands of gasoline-powered vehicles are also being converted to use a bi-fuel system allowing CNG as an alternative fuel.[16] He encouraged developments under which cars with Iranian content would be built in Egypt[9] and Syria.[17]

Following deadly crashes of imported aircraft, he also hoped to develop domestic production of aircraft.[18] He promoted production of steel, copper,[19] and coal.[20] He implemented policies pressurising companies alleged to have links with businesses who trade with Israel, such as Coca-Cola, Nestle and Benetton[21]
