Damage to War-Hit Production Units in Zanjan Province Reaches Nearly 2 Trillion Tomans

Narges Moradkhani, the Zanjan governor's deputy for economic affairs coordination, said on Thursday 26 Shahrivar 1405 (17 September 2026), on the sidelines of the president's executive deputy's visit to a steel production unit in Abhar, according to Khabar Online, that in total about 25 production units in the province have been damaged directly or indirectly by events of the war, of which 11 units were directly targeted; among them is a production unit in Khorramdarreh that was hit directly by a missile and a considerable part of which was destroyed. She said the total estimated damage to the province's damaged units is nearly 2 trillion tomans (2,000 billion tomans). According to her, the principal damage has so far not been directly compensated, and government support has mainly taken the form of low-interest facilities to preserve employment; within this framework, a total of about 300 billion tomans in working capital facilities has been paid to 366 production units in the province. Moradkhani added that a bylaw for paying the principal damage was first approved for the south of the country and is being extended to other provinces.
