“ A production in this section was resumed,” said Vice Minister of Oil Ahmad Zeraatkar, quoted by the Iranian news agency Mehr.
Zeraatkar said that the deadlines for capacity restoration in the complex were being met, which should be completed before the beginning of winter, according to the Mehr report, reproduced by the Spanish agency Europa Press.
“National financial resources were also mobilised for reconstruction work, with the launch of four projects under an important funding program,” he said.
The minister also called on consumers to save energy as long as work continued.
Israeli attacks on the camp, shared by Iran and Qatar, took place on March 18, in the framework of the offensive that Israel unleashed together with the United States against the Asian country in late February.
Tehran responded by bombardment of energy facilities in several Middle East countries and by blocking the Strait of Ormuz, through which one-fifth of the oil products that supply the markets, causing a price crisis.
Iran and the United States reached a ceasefire in April, without the negotiations started at that time resulting in a definitive peace agreement.
