Iran says 80% of damaged oil facilities have been restored

Iran says it has restored about 80% of damaged oil facilities and storage sites after fighting with the United States and Israel.

The figures were given by Mohammad Meshkinfam, head of Iran’s National Iranian Oil Engineering and Construction Company.

Facilities for pumping petroleum products are about 60% restored, so that part of the system remains less complete.

Meshkinfam said Iran hopes to return all the damaged infrastructure to full working order by the end of the Iranian month of Aban.

Fuel supplies to Tehran were restored in about two weeks after attacks on the Rey oil depot.

The restoration matters because the damaged sites and systems are part of Iran’s oil infrastructure, and work is still underway to complete repairs.
