Iran’s Khuzestan Steel Company will need between six months and a year to restore operations after its facilities were damaged in a strike last week, a deputy director said, Reuters reports, citing a judiciary-linked news outlet.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Iran had reported that the Khuzestan steel production factory, which uses sealed cobalt-60 and caesium-137 radioactive sources for gauging, was hit in the strikes last week.
“All modules and steel-making furnaces of this industrial complex have been damaged, Deputy Director of Operations Mehran Pakbin said, adding that reconstruction efforts would rely on domestic capabilities.
