Iranian petchem producer Jam says it will take years to repair damage from April 6 attack

Iranian petrochemicals producer Jam has said it will take years for it to carry out reconstruction work and resume production after being attacked by US and Israel forces on April 6.

In an April 7 statement on its website, the company said damage was caused to its tanks and processing plants, adding that the strikes have left some parts of its operations on fire.

Jam is located in the Pars Special Economic Zone, near the South Pars natural gas processing, where some power plants and production plants were destroyed in the April 6 attack, according to the company.

Jam has a production capacity of 3.174 million metric tons/year of polypropylene and polyethylene. It added in the statement that an estimate of the damage from the attack is ongoing.

The company didn't immediately respond to a request for additional comment.
