The visit, his
second since the American-Zionist strikes on Iran in February, focused on
damaged facilities, including those at Fajr Energy of the Persian Gulf, Bandar
Imam, Arvand, and Ghadeer. The repair and reactivation of these units have been
prioritized by the petrochemical industry following damage to auxiliary
facilities and petrochemical units during the recent war.
Numerous meetings
have been held recently with petrochemical industry managers, experts, and
members of the Islamic Consultative Assembly to discuss strategies for
accelerating reconstruction and restoring production capacities.
During his visit
to Fajr Energy of the Persian Gulf, Abbaszadeh reviewed damaged sections and
the implementation of recovery and reconstruction plans.
He also evaluated
reports and timelines for the re-launch of units in a meeting with the complex’s
managers, where strategies for speeding up repair operations were discussed.
Abbaszadeh
emphasized the crucial role of these complexes in supplying downstream
industries within the country, noting the wide application of their products in
the domestic market.
He expressed
confidence that with the efforts of operational staff, significant progress in
re-launching some sections will be achieved soon.
The on-site
presence of senior petrochemical officials in Mahshahr is intended to expedite
reconstruction, resolve operational challenges, and bring the production
capacities of this strategic industry back online as quickly as possible.
In a related
development on Wednesday, a meeting was held in Ahvaz between the Deputy Petroleum
Minister and the CEO of the National Iranian South Oil Company, Ramin Hatami,
to discuss securing a stable feedstock supply for the petrochemical industries
in the Mahshahr zone.
Abbaszadeh
stressed the necessity of synergy within the oil industry to ensure consistent
feedstock provision, while Hatami affirmed his company’s readiness to
collaborate with the petrochemical sector.
On Wednesday
evening, Abbaszadeh also met with the family of Martyr Mohammad Torabi, a
petrochemical industry martyr, in Mahshahr.
He conveyed the
greetings of Petroleum Minister Mohsen Paknejad and emphasized that serving the
families of martyrs is a divine opportunity and a great honor.
Abbaszadeh stated
that the martyrs of the petrochemical industry are indelibly etched in the
proud history of the industry due to their sacrifices during the recent war,
and that the continued development and production in Iran are indebted to the
bravery of these martyrs and their families.
