Mohammad Meshkinfam, Director General of the National Iranian Oil Engineering and Construction Company (NIOEC), announced that rehabilitation work on oil facilities and tanks damaged due to the war has reached approximately 80%.

Meshkinfam added in remarks reported by the official Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, that the complete restoration of infrastructure is expected by the end of Aban month (corresponding to November 21 in the Iranian calendar).

He noted that the readiness of petroleum product transportation facilities stands at about 60%, and that fuel supply to Tehran was restored roughly two weeks after strikes targeted an oil depot in the city of Rey.

The United States and Israel began directing strikes against targets in Iran on February 28 last year, to which the Iranian side responded with similar strikes on Israel and US military bases in Jordan and Arab Gulf countries. Despite the current calm in the conflict, the situation remains unresolved, with risks of resumed combat operations persisting.
