According to IRNA, the official said on Tuesday
that the boost would be made possible once 18 new petrochemical projects came
online by 2022.
Jahangiri, who was speaking in the southern
Fars Province, said that such growth in the petrochemical sector of the country
was unprecedented.
He further said that by imposing sanctions,
the Americans sought to dissolve the Islamic establishment of Iran which would
never take place given the help of God.
