​​​​​​​BREAKING: The Israeli and U.S. air forces are now targeting Iran’s oil infrastructure in Abadan–Khorramshahr, with confirmed strike activity against the Abadan refinery and petrochemical complex early this morning.

According to multiple incoming reports, the airstrikes began at approximately 07:25 local time, with continuous and sequential explosions reported for at least 10–15 minutes.

Eyewitnesses in Abadan reported:

07:30: Ongoing explosions originating from the direction of the Abadan refinery

07:33: At least 10 explosions, with windows shaking across nearby neighborhoods (including areas near Falakeh Alfi)

07:39: Up to 10–11 extremely loud detonations assessed to be from the Abadan petrochemical facilities.

Additional reports from Khorramshahr confirm repeated, rapid successive explosions (“barrage-style”), with at least 7–10 heavy detonations heard, suggesting multiple strike packages or follow-on targeting within the same complex.

The intensity, repetition, and proximity of the blasts indicate direct hits on core refinery and petrochemical infrastructure, likely targeting processing units, storage facilities, or pipeline nodes within one of Iran’s most critical oil hubs.

The Abadan refinery—one of the largest and most strategic in Iran—along with adjacent petrochemical facilities, forms a central pillar of the country’s fuel production and export network.

The scale and sequencing of these strikes suggest a deliberate effort to disrupt Iran’s energy backbone.
