Israel has officially confirmed a strike on Iran’s South Pars gas complex, described by Defence Minister Israel Katz as a significant blow to Iran's energy infrastructure. The South Pars facility is Iran's largest petrochemical site, responsible for nearly half of the country's output. Katz emphasized that the military has been instructed to continue targeting Iranian infrastructure 'with all force.' This strike comes despite US President Donald Trump's earlier warnings urging Israel to avoid further attacks on the site after Iran's retaliation against energy installations in the Gulf. Following the strike, Iranian media reported explosions in Tehran and Karaj, while Israel activated its air defense systems in response to missile launches from Iran. In a broader context, Saudi Arabia intercepted multiple ballistic missiles aimed at its territory, and a drone strike from Iran in Iraq's Kurdistan region resulted in civilian casualties. Amid these tensions, Trump escalated his rhetoric, threatening severe military action against Iran if his demands regarding the Strait of Hormuz are not met.
