Iran's energy export plan if sanctions are lifted

One of Iran's key demands for there to be a nuclear deal with the P5+1 countries (US, UK, Russia, France, China and Germany) is for all sanctions to be lifted.

Once removed, Iran would boost oil and gas production and increase exports to countries that reduced trade with it as a result of sanctions.

EU sanctions imposed in 2012 banned the import of Iranian crude oil and new contracts with Iran.

BBC Monitoring looks at how Iran plans to increase its energy exports and the potential issues this could cause.
