TEHRAN, May 25 (MNA) -- Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani has said that Tuesday’s blast at Abadan refinery was the consequence of the administration’s unjustified request that the new unit be inaugurated on May 24, a day marking the 29th anniversary of the liberation of Khorramshahr.
The blast occurred while the inauguration ceremony of the first phase of a gasoline production unit, with the participation of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was in progress at the refinery in the southwestern province of Khuzestan.
“The incident took place due to the administration’s unreasonable request to inaugurate this refinery on May 24, inflicting considerable damage on the refinery, and killed several workers at the refinery,” Larijani stated at an open session of the Majlis on Wednesday.
Hamidreza Katuzian, chairman of the Majlis Energy Committee, also said on Tuesday that the refinery “was not adequately prepared for the launch of the new unit.”
Ali Mousavi, an MP representing Abadan in the Majlis, also stated on Tuesday that experts had previously conducted several tests and predicted that a blast may occur after launching the unit.
