Iran South Pars Israel Katz Donald Trump
  • Israel launched an attack on Iran’s largest petrochemical plant, South Pars in Asaluyeh, on Monday.
  • The strike occurred a day before Donald Trump's deadline for military action against Iran's energy infrastructure if no peace deal was reached.
  • Israeli defence minister Israel Katz confirmed the “powerful strike” on the facility, which accounts for approximately half of Iran's petrochemical output.
  • Iranian media reported multiple explosions around the Asaluyeh complex following the attack.
  • This incident follows previous strikes on the South Pars gas field in March, which were considered a significant escalation in the conflict.
