Iran’s two largest steel plants have been forced out of action by several waves of US and Israeli attacks, the companies have said.
“Our initial estimate is that restarting these units will take at least six months and up to one year,” Mehran Pakbin, deputy head of operations at the Khuzestan Steel Company, was quoted as saying by the Mizan Online website on Thursday.
Mobarakeh Steel Company in the central province of Isfahan said that its “production lines have completely shut down following the high volume of attacks”.
Both plants have suffered repeated strikes since last week. (AFP)
