Iranian media have reported that the country has suspended exports of all petrochemical products "until further notice" to meet "domestic needs," the BBC reported, Gazeta Express reports.
Since the start of the war, Israel has claimed responsibility for attacks on a number of petrochemical complexes in Iran, including Asaluyeh and Mahshahr, both in the south of the country.
Iranian media outlet Jamaran says facilities such as Fajr Energy Persian Gulf in Mahshahr and Mobin Energy and Damavand Energy in Asaluyeh have been "severely damaged," with production halted at more than 50 petrochemical complexes in the two regions.
Products from this industry range from plastics to fertilizers, meaning the impact could affect several industries and jobs within Iran.
