US-Israeli Aggression Targets Iranian Petrochemical Plants
US-Israeli attacks have targeted petrochemical complexes in Iran's Bushehr province, specifically the Pars Special Economic Energy Zone, days after similar strikes hit Khuzestan. Iran's Oil Ministry reported damage to utility facilities, but fires were controlled with no fatalities or chemical leaks. These incidents are part of an intensified campaign against Iran's economic infrastructure, including energy facilities, which Iran deems illegal aggression, prompting a vow of crushing response from its military.
Iranian authorities have reported a series of US-Israeli attacks targeting petrochemical plants across the country, escalating what Iran describes as illegal aggression against its economic infrastructure. The most recent incident involved missile strikes on utility and marginal facilities within the Pars Special Economic Energy Zone in Asaluyeh, Bushehr province, a major hub for Iranian petrochemical operations. The National Petrochemical Company (NPC) confirmed the attacks, stating that while damage occurred, resulting fires were quickly brought under control, and critically, no dangerous chemical leaks or fatalities were reported. Persian Gulf Mobin Energy, a utility provider in the region, also confirmed damage to its installations without any casualties.These attacks follow similar strikes just two days prior on petrochemical plants in Mahshahr, Khuzestan province, a vital energy hub on the Persian Gulf coast, where utility supplies were also disrupted. Iran's Oil Ministry views these incidents as part of a broader, intensified campaign by the US and the Israeli regime, which has reportedly targeted various Iranian economic infrastructures, including steel mills, refineries, and bridges, since late February. The US has additionally threatened to target Iranian power plants, a move widely criticized internationally by legal experts who warn such actions could constitute war crimes. In response, Iran's military has vowed a decisive and crushing response to these attacks on its civilian facilities.
