Factories add double, triple shifts to offset war losses: Minister
Iran's industrial sector is mobilizing to offset production losses caused by enemy attacks, with factories ramping up output and adding shifts to compensate for destroyed facilities, Industry Minister Mohammad Atabak said.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the international Quds Day rallies in Tehran on Friday, Atabak condemned the targeting of schools, residential areas, and industrial sites by the US and Israel, noting that the strikes had caused damage to several industrial centers, Tasnim news agency reported.
The US and the Zionist regime launched their aggression against the country on Feb. 28, with civilian targets and infrastructure among the primary sites struck.
"If enemy attacks on industrial centers and factories disrupt the production of a specific good, other production hubs have strived to compensate for the shortage by boosting output — doubling or tripling production — and implementing double or triple shifts," Atabak said.
The minister emphasized that the government is making every effort to meet public needs, ensuring that essential goods are available in supermarkets and shopping centers.
