An Israeli sabotage attack on an Iranian natural gas pipeline has been alleged by Iran's oil minister to be the cause of multiple explosions that struck it a week ago. The comments by Iran’s Oil Minister come amidst escalating tensions between the two regional adversaries, particularly in light of Israel's ongoing conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The Oil Minister stated that the explosion of the gas pipeline was part of an Israeli plot to disrupt gas service in Iranian provinces and jeopardize gas distribution for the people. However, no evidence was provided to support these claims.
