Iran expects to restore most damaged refining and ‌distribution facilities to 70–80 per cent of their pre-attack capacity within one to two months, a ⁠senior oil official said, as authorities work to recover from a wave of strikes on energy infrastructure, reported Reuters.

Deputy Minister of Oil Mohammad ‌Azimifar ⁠told the Student News Network that repair work had begun and that ⁠part of the Lavan refinery is expected to resume ⁠operations within about 10 days, with ⁠other units coming back online gradually.
