Final UN annex explains a mixed-currency downstream reconstruction comparison

The annex’s production history indicated losses on the order of 30 million tonnes of petrochemical products over eight years. This was a cumulative output-loss estimate, not a count of destroyed...

Table B.3 reported refinery reconstruction expenditure of 8,646 million rials and $162 million during the war, followed by 10,388 million rials and $195 million after the ceasefire. The figures...

Table B.4 reported petrochemical reconstruction expenditure of 15,535 million rials and $291 million during the war, then 33,315 million rials and $624 million after the ceasefire. Monetary...

The mission used an oil-industry rule of thumb of $10,000 per barrel per day of capacity for replacing large plants. Its roughly $5 billion downstream rebuilding estimate was a coarse cross-check, not...

The annex warned of a sharply nonlinear replacement-cost curve for plants below 100,000 barrels per day. Its large-plant capacity benchmark therefore could not be applied uniformly to every refinery...

Iran’s single-track railway network grew from 4,570 kilometres in 1980 to 4,834 in 1988, the annex reported. Annual passengers rose from five million to 6.8 million; national growth coexisted with...

Iranian Railways carried 5.7 million tonnes of freight in 1980 and 12.5 million in 1988, the annex reported. Growth in national traffic did not establish that war-damaged lines and stations had...

Between 1980 and 1988, freight wagons increased from 12,150 to 13,312, passenger coaches from 760 to 925, and locomotives from 418 to 531. These national inventories are distinct from counts of...

Iran’s railway loss inventory listed 150 kilometres of lines as 100 percent damaged. The annex presented this government-reported physical measure separately from partial damage to buildings,...

The railway inventory listed 118,569 square metres of buildings with damage ranging from 20 to 100 percent. This was affected floor area across different damage levels, not an assertion that all...
