TEHRAN, May 3 (NIPNA) – Iran’s deputy petroleum minister and head of the National Petrochemical Company (NPC) said efforts are underway to restore damaged petrochemical facilities and facilitate imports in order to secure feedstock supplies for downstream industries.


Hasan Abbaszadeh said the NPC is coordinating with the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade, the Central Bank, and Iran’s commodity exchange to strengthen supply chains for industrial users dependent on petrochemical outputs.

He made the remarks during a coordination meeting on Sunday focused on stabilizing supply for downstream sectors, according to the National Petrochemical Company.

The meeting was attended by senior officials from the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade, the Central Bank, the Iran Mercantile Exchange, and the Consumer and Producer Protection Organization, alongside industry representatives.

Abbaszadeh provided an update on recovery and reconstruction efforts at petrochemical complexes damaged during what Iranian officials refer to as the “third imposed war,” saying restoration work was ongoing across affected facilities.

The NPC has in recent weeks held a series of coordination sessions with industry executives, experts, and lawmakers to accelerate rehabilitation plans and address production bottlenecks, the company said.

Officials have also stepped up field inspections of key industrial zones. Abbaszadeh recently visited the Assaluyeh petrochemical hub and later traveled to the Mahshahr special economic zone to assess reconstruction progress and operational conditions at damaged sites.

The government is seeking to stabilize petrochemical output, which plays a key role in supplying raw materials to Iran’s manufacturing and export sectors, while ensuring smoother import channels where domestic capacity remains constrained.
