According to the National Petrochemical Company, the message from Hassan Abbaszadeh reads:
“In the name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
The martyrdoms of several employees of Persian Gulf Fajr Energy Company in the enemy attack on petrochemical facilities in the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone (Mahshahr) have caused deep sorrow and grief.
I extend my sincere condolences to the people of Iran, especially the bereaved families and all hardworking employees of Iran’s petrochemical industry. I ask God to grant the deceased the highest ranks and to give patience and strength to their families.
I also pray for the swift recovery of those injured in the attack on petrochemical complexes.
Undoubtedly, Iran’s petrochemical industry, as a value-generating and leading sector of the national economy, and its dedicated workforce, will continue — as always — to serve the Iranian people with a spirit of sacrifice and with reliance on God during this critical period.”
