Iran’s oil facilities, power grid operating normally after Israeli raids
According to the investigations, none of the Iranian oil facilities were damaged and the activity in the industry is normal.
Meanwhile, CEO of Iran’s Power Grid Management Company Mahdi Moqimzadeh told IRNA that Iran’s electricity network is in normal condition and no special problems have been reported.
Necessary plans have been made in the Energy Ministry in case an accident occurs, he added.
Also, a spokesman of Tehran Oil Refinery rejected reports the facility was a target of attacks by the Israeli regime, saying that the refinery is operating normally.
There has been no attack on the facilities of this refinery and the production in the refining unit continues as usual, Shaker Khafaie said on Saturday.
He also rejected reports of attack on the facilities of Tehran Oil Refinery and announced the full readiness of Passive Defense for possible incidents.
Meanwhile, Managing Director of the Abadan Oil Refining Company Hakim Qayyem emphasized that all units and employees at the company continue operating normally.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Qayyem said operations at the refinery are normal and employees are busily engaged in their units as they do on a routine basis.
The CEO denied rumors on any missile attack on the Abadan Oil Refining Company, adding that there is no problem at the refinery.
Qayyem also explained that the sounds heard by citizens were the echoes of air defense fire, and no missile or shell was fired towards the refinery; therefore, all oil facilities at this refinery are intact and operational.
The spokesperson for the Civil Aviation Organization of Iran said on Saturday the process of flights in the country has returned to normal since 9 a.m. local time on Saturday following a hiatus in the wake of the Israeli regime’s act of aggression.
Jafar Yazarlou said all flights across Iran have continued to operate normally since 9 a.m. on October 26.
He advised the passengers to stay in contact with the airlines and notice the messages from the aviation companies.
The spokesman also called on the travelers to get the latest information about the departure time before going to the airports.
The public relations office of the Iranian air defense command issued on Saturday a statement announcing that Israeli airstrikes against military centers in Tehran, the western province of Ilam, and the southwestern province of Khuzestan were intercepted and countered successfully.
The Islamic Republic’s air defense force confirmed the airstrikes, stressing that they were part of Israel’s escalating measures and caused “limited damage.”
The aggression occurred despite Iran’s warnings against Israel’s adventurous actions, the statement said.
The statement also urged people to remain calm, maintain solidarity, and rely only on news from state media. It called on the nation to ignore enemy media rumors. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had said earlier this month during a tour of Middle East states that Iran was not seeking escalation.
