IRAQ: An Iranian export that Iraqis can enjoy

Iraq and the United States accuse Iran of sending arms to Iraqi militants and offering them training, but there's one thing Iran is exporting that few can complain about: Barfab air coolers.

I recently spent two consecutive mornings wandering along Karada Out, the famous electronics market street in Baghdad, looking for some of these air coolers. It wasn't easy, because there are a lot of companies making knock-offs of the real thing.

Finally, I found a shop with the genuine item and bought three for my house at $175 each.
