Reports say Israel has carried out an attack on Iran’s South Pars petrochemical facility in Asaluye, with explosions reported at the site amid ongoing escalation. Iranian state-affiliated sources indicate the strike targeted one of the country’s key energy complexes, with further details expected to emerge. The incident comes as tensions rise between Iran, the United States and Israel, alongside warnings that negotiations cannot proceed under threats.
Al Jazeera’s Tohid Asadi reports from Tehran that the facility is a major strategic energy asset, central to Iran’s electricity and industrial output. He notes continued airstrikes across multiple Iranian cities, including Karaj, Shiraz and Isfahan, with reports of casualties and damage. Iranian officials have warned of retaliatory actions targeting US assets and regional infrastructure if attacks persist. Al Jazeera’s Osama bin Javaid highlights that South Pars is shared with Qatar’s North Field and is critical to regional energy supply, with the extent of damage still unclear.
