Israel struck a key petrochemical plant at Iran’s massive South Pars natural gas field and killed two paramilitary Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) commanders on Monday, after Tehran said no to the latest 45-day ceasefire proposal — and US President Donald Trump's ultimatum looms within hours.
The gas field attack aimed at eliminating a major source of revenue for Iran, Israel said. The field is critical to electricity production, but the strike appeared to be separate from Trump’s threats to target power plants and bridges if Tehran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping traffic by Monday night Washington time.
