Israeli forces struck a major Iranian petrochemical complex in southwest Iran this morning, damaging multiple facilities. State media reports that at least 5 petrochemical plants in the Mahshahr area were targeted, and the IDF confirms it bombed Iranian industrial targets.
BREAKING: In just few hours, the oil price will reach to $200 USD per barrel!
Heavy U.S. and Israeli airstrikes have targeted the Mahshahr Petrochemical Special Economic Zone in southern Iran. This is one of Iran’s major oil infrastructures.
Multiple explosions were reported minutes ago, with at least 25 heavy blasts recorded across the area. Facilities including Marun, Karoun, Bandar Imam, Amir Kabir, Razi petrochemicals, and Fajr 1 & 2 power plants were hit. Large columns of smoke are rising from the petrochemical complex as a result of the strikes.
Further updates are expected.
The IRGC is expected to retaliate this by heavily targeting major oil infrastructures of Saudi Arabia and the UAE as the Saudis had an important role in the airstrikes against the oil facilities of Iran today (by providing access to the Prince Sultan Air Base).
