Mohammad Reza Motiri, CEO of the Special Economic Zone of Petrochemicals and Senior Commander of Passive Defense and Crisis Management in the region, emphasized the strategic role of passive defense in managing critical situations, stating that the experiences of recent wars highlight the importance of planning, prevention, and intelligent management of resources and assets.
War Experiences and Achievements of Passive Defense
Motiri, speaking at the commemoration ceremony for Passive Defense Week attended by the Deputy Head of the Passive Defense Organization of the country, the Governor of Khuzestan, and CEOs of petrochemical companies, stated: Since the first days of the 12-day war, one of the most important achievements of the Special Economic Zone of Petrochemicals has been the experiences and lessons learned in the field of passive defense.
He noted the necessity of honoring the memory of the martyrs of the Islamic Revolution and defenders of the homeland, adding: Passive defense has taught us to safeguard industries against threats through a preventive approach and to manage resources and expenditures intelligently.
Intelligent Management of Resources in Critical Conditions
The CEO of the Special Economic Zone of Petrochemicals emphasized that although passive defense may initially be associated more with cybersecurity issues, the experiences of recent wars have shown that wherever planning, prevention, and correction are properly implemented, it is possible to prevent extensive damages by utilizing existing capacities and tools.
He identified another important lesson from this period as the method of distributing and managing assets and resources in difficult conditions, stating: Passive defense is a tool for prevention, safeguarding, guidance, and planning, and it helps to make the best use of available facilities and capacities during a crisis.
Motiri stressed that proper management of resources and assets in emergency situations, alongside identifying vulnerabilities and taking preventive measures, can play a decisive role in reducing damages and maintaining the sustainability of industrial activities.
The Senior Commander of Passive Defense and Crisis Management in the Special Economic Zone of Petrochemicals highlighted the necessity of strengthening solidarity and cooperation among the people, noting: The experiences gained in this path can pave the way for a more sustainable, resilient, and dynamic Iran.
He expressed hope that based on these lessons, more effective actions could be taken to protect national assets, increase preparedness against threats, and enhance the resilience of industrial infrastructures. Motiri's statements indicate that alongside the development of production capacities, attention to the requirements of passive defense and intelligent management of resources are essential for maintaining sustainability and continuity in the petrochemical industry during critical conditions.
