BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 5. Two units of the Fajr Jam Gas Refinery, damaged during Israel's 12-day war against Iran last year, have resumed operations, Iranian Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad said at an event dedicated to the resumption of the refinery units' operations in the southern Iranian Bushehr Province, Trend reports.
According to him, last year, it was announced that two of the eight units of the Fajr Jam refinery were damaged during Israeli military airstrikes on Iran. The damage was assessed, and serious injuries were reported.
Paknejad noted that the two units of the refinery were repaired and returned to production within six months.
The minister added that the restoration of the operation of the refinery units is of particular importance in difficult times when gas is needed. Currently, in times of energy shortage, every one million cubic meters of gas is seriously needed. The restoration of the operation of the processing units will effectively help the country.
