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.

The CEO of the National Petrochemical Company emphasized the strategic role of public relations in integrating the capacities of the petrochemical industry and said: "Public relations can transform the scattered achievements of the petrochemical industry into a promising asset for society and activists in this field by creating a coherent network among petrochemical companies."

Abadan Petrochemical, as the first petrochemical complex in Iran, is facing a paradox between “oldness” and “efficiency” today, on the eve of its sixth decade of operation. This company, which was once a symbol of Iran’s industrial modernity, is now struggling with structural challenges in the production chain and a food supply crisis, despite its 14 percent share in the country’s PVC supply; a situation that has tied the survival of this strategic unit to ownership reform and infrastructure modernization.

The petrochemical industry has entered a new phase of policymaking and implementation under the 14th government; a phase in which the mere development of nominal capacities has given way to a focus on completing the value chain, increasing real production, and enhancing domestic value added.

Production in Khorasan, Lordegan, Kermanshah, Zagros, Sabalan, Kimia Pars, and many other urea and methanol petrochemical plants has dropped to zero; why? Because the only prescription of all governments to overcome the gas crisis is to close the gas valve of petrochemical plants.
