Tehran (International Desk): Iran has suspended all exports of petrochemical products with immediate effect, following disruptions caused by recent Israeli strikes on key production hubs.
According to Iran’s economic newspaper Donya-e-Eqtesad, a senior official from the National Petrochemical Company (NPC) overseeing downstream industries issued instructions on April 13, directing all producers to stop exports and redirect supplies to the domestic market. The ban will remain in place “until further notice.”
Iranian authorities stated that the primary objective is to prioritize domestic needs, prevent shortages of raw materials, and ensure stable supply to local industries and consumers. Despite the damage from attacks and rising global prices, domestic prices for petrochemical and related products have been maintained at pre-conflict levels.
The move comes amid ongoing regional tensions and aims to stabilize Iran’s internal markets while production facilities undergo repairs.
This development highlights the impact of the current conflict on Iran’s vital petrochemical sector, a key contributor to its economy and global supply chains.
