MAHSHAHR, July 20 (NIPNA) — The Iranian government has committed full state backing and capital resources to expedite the reconstruction of petrochemical facilities damaged in recent strikes, government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani announced during a site inspection on Sunday.

Speaking on the sidelines of an operational review at the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone (PETZONE) and Fajr Energy Persian Gulf Company, Mohajerani outlined state response measures to restore full production capacities across damaged utility and processing units.

Fatalities and Emergency Site Command

Mohajerani confirmed that six personnel were killed during the targeted strikes on industrial facilities in the zone.

The spokesperson praised the fast-response protocols executed by site operators and emergency commanders at Fajr Energy, noting that their field leadership prevented broader industrial escalation and minimized human casualties following direct impacts on utility infrastructure.

"The efforts of these workers and effective field management helped keep human losses to a minimum," Mohajerani stated during the inspection.

Economic Impact and Supply Chain Role

Highlighting the critical role of utility suppliers like Fajr Energy—which provides electricity, steam, oxygen, and treated water to surrounding plants—Mohajerani emphasized that strikes against energy infrastructure directly impact downstream civilian supply chains.

The facilities under restoration produce essential industrial feedstocks, polymers, and refined fuels, including:

  • Petroleum Products: Motor gasoline and fuel blendstocks.
  • Polymers & Synthetics: Raw plastics and synthetic compounds for domestic manufacturing.
  • Industrial Utilities: Compressed air, steam, and electricity vital for regional plant stability.

Funding Mobilization via Reconstruction Headquarters

The government spokesperson confirmed that the central Reconstruction Headquarters (Setad-e Bazsazi) has initiated the capital allocation process to accelerate repairs and bring affected units back online.

Mohajerani reaffirmed that state authorities are working in close coordination with industrial management teams to ensure a rapid return to full operational capacity across all affected plants in the Mahshahr industrial hub.
