National Iranian Gas Company CEO Saeed Tavakoli confirmed the measures, following Israeli airstrikes that damaged facilities at the South Pars gas field, which produced 730 million cubic meters of gas daily last year.
Reconstruction of the South Pars refineries will begin soon, according to the Iranian parliament’s energy commission chairman, as the field supplies most of Iran’s domestic gas needs.
