- 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.
