ASALUYEH, Iran, July 20 (NIPNA)— Iran’s executive vice president visited the heavily damaged Jam Petrochemical Complex in Asaluyeh, southern Iran, on Monday, highlighting rapid reconstruction efforts following an enemy strike during what Iranian officials termed the “third imposed war.”

Mohammad Jafar Ghaem Panah toured the facility alongside Energy Minister Abbas Aliabadi as part of field visits to southern industrial zones targeted in the conflict. Jam Petrochemical is one of Iran’s largest and most strategically important petrochemical producers, supplying feedstock to multiple downstream complexes across the country.

“Jam Petrochemical is among the most significant petrochemical facilities not only in Iran but in the region and globally,” Ghaem Panah said on the sidelines of the visit. “It is a key part of the country’s oil industry infrastructure that came under enemy attack.”

Reconstruction work began immediately after the fire from the strike was brought under control, with the aim of restoring full production as quickly as possible, he added.

The visit underscores Tehran’s push to safeguard and revive critical energy infrastructure amid ongoing regional tensions. Jam Petrochemical plays a central role in Iran’s petrochemical export chain, which ranks among the country’s top sources of non-oil foreign revenue.
