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.
On the morning of June 13, Israel launched a series of
airstrikes targeting Iran, resulting in the deaths of numerous
high-ranking military officials, generals, nuclear scientists, and
other senior figures.
That same evening, Iran retaliated with Operation True Promise
III, a large-scale missile and drone assault on multiple targets,
including Tel Aviv, which caused civilian casualties and extensive
damage.
On June 22, the United States conducted airstrikes on three
Iranian nuclear facilities, with reports indicating the destruction
of these sites.
The following evening, June 23, Iran launched airstrikes on a
U.S. military base in Qatar, further escalating tensions in the
region.
On June 24, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office announced that
Israel had agreed to a ceasefire with Iran, facilitated by U.S.
President Donald Trump. In response, Iran’s Supreme National
Security Council issued a statement confirming the cessation of
hostilities.
