In the joint meeting of the Industries and Mines Commission and the Industry, Mining, Safety, and Standardization Faction of the Islamic Council, emphasis was placed on accelerating the process of returning damaged petrochemical units to production with the support of the Council.

In recent days, whispers of efforts to restart the petrochemical plants in Mahshahr and Asaloueh have been heard. Hossein Mirafzali, an energy expert, said: "The priority for starting petrochemical units is to meet domestic needs. Those who prioritize the domestic market should come online faster; including Tondgoyan, Jam, Marun, and Arund petrochemicals."

The deputy minister of oil for petrochemicals, emphasizing the supply of downstream industries through the recovery of petrochemical complexes and facilitating imports, announced: The National Petrochemical Company, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Central Bank, and the Commodity Exchange are expanding their cooperation to meet the needs of downstream industries.

The military aggression of the United States and the Zionist regime against the petrochemical facilities of the country has not only targeted the oil industry. The deep dependency of the automotive and food packaging industries on petrochemical raw materials has put these two critical industries on the brink of a serious challenge.

The Ministry of Industry has notified the customs of a suspension of exports of petrochemical and downstream products until further notice.

In the aftermath of the bombing of petrochemical facilities in Mahshahr and Avazeh, the National Security Council of the country has banned the export of petrochemical products through a decree, aiming to secure the domestic market needs.

The rumor of an attack on Fajr Energy was denied.

The National Petrochemical Company issued a statement regarding the enemy's attack on the special economic zone of Petrochem (Mahshahr).

The Secretary General of the Petrochemical Industry Employers' Association, appreciating the Ministry of Oil's new approach in cooperating with the private sector, said: "Following the Supreme Leader's emphasis, the Ministry of Oil, with a different perspective, put the issue of petrochemical companies' investment in the development of gas fields on the agenda."

The 310,000-ton heavy polyethylene project of Tabriz Petrochemical is being implemented for the first time in the country with Iranian technical knowledge; this project is currently more than 78 percent physically advanced, and the production capacity of the complex's saleable products will more than double with the use of this plan.
