Iranian media reported that Israel struck the South Pars Gas Field in what would be the first attack on an Iranian energy site.
Israel has escalated its ongoing conflict with Iran, striking the world's largest gas field and other energy infrastructure as part of a two-day assault that had otherwise largely targeted sites and personnel tied to the Islamic Republic's armed forces and nuclear program.
Iranian semi-official media outlets, including Tasnim News Agency and Fars News Agency, reported on Saturday that an Israeli drone struck Iran's South Pars Gas Field, which is shared with Qatar, where it is known as the North Dome Gas Field. The attack was said to have targeted Phase 14 refineries of the Iranian section, with at least one unit reportedly on fire, leading to a suspension in operations.
Footage circulating on news channels and social media appeared to show flames and smoke rising from a section of the complex, which is located in the Kangan area of Iran's south coast Bushehr province.
Next, they'll start targeting schools, because that's where the Iranian government indoctrinates its children, and hospitals because that's where they treat Iranian soldiers injured in Israeli attacks. See, folks? They're just trying to help. /s
This will cause gas prices to increase, which is exactly what Russia wants. Of course, with both Russian and Iranian gas production under attack, I wonder which group that recently increased production will benefit? Well, for a while, until mines start appearing in the straight of Hormuz.
Random vote of no confidence motion against Bibi is domino-ing into a global energy crisis.
