Gov’t plans high-tech overhaul for war-scarred industries
Iran's government intends to use new technology and production lines to rebuild industrial units damaged during the 40-day US-Israeli aggression, with environmental considerations involved in the relocation of some facilities, the economy minister said.
According to a report by Tasnim, Economy Minister Ali Madanizadeh outlined the reconstruction strategy, stating, "In the renovation program for damaged industrial units, new technology or production lines will be used instead of previous technologies, and even new site allocations for damaged industries have been considered based on environmental considerations."
Madanizadeh added that support measures are already underway for other manufacturing and industrial units facing demand shortfalls or disruptions in their production chains. "Supportive decisions by the government for other production and industrial units that have faced demand or production chain problems are being implemented," he said.
Describing the current phase as a period of economic renewal, the minister noted, "The post-war period is a period of economic renovation, and support packages, such as the recent one for workshops with fewer than 50 employees, have been considered."
The US and Israel launched their aggression against the country on February 28, with civilian targets and infrastructure among the primary sites struck.
While no official statistics have yet been released on the extent of damage to industrial facilities, attacks on the petrochemical and steel sectors ranked among the most prominent targets of the campaign.
