Israel bombs Iranian gas field: Report

Semi-official news agency Mehr and other Iranian media outlets are reporting that fires have broken out after Israel bombed infrastructure at the South Pars gas field in southern Bushehr province.

Video confirms Israeli attack on key energy infrastructure in Iran

Footage has emerged showing the aftermath of an Israeli attack on Kangan port in the southern Bushehr Province in Iran. A large fire can be seen raging with large plumes of dark smoke.

The port is located near Iran’s South Pars gas field, the world’s largest natural gas field.

WW3 is not needed, all these wars and bombs will speed up global warming and bring civilization down regardless.

 

Targeting Iranian gas infrastructure would mark major escalation

Iranian news outlets have been reporting several Israeli strikes on the country’s energy infrastructure.

If confirmed, the attacks would mark a new chapter of escalation in the conflict that will likely send global energy prices soaring.

Iranian officials have previously warned that they will respond in-kind to strikes on the country’s energy sector. While not a major energy producer, Israel does have oil and gas fields that could be targeted by Iranian missiles.

Tehran may also retaliate against other Israeli economic assets.



30 military, one Red Crescent worker killed in northwest Iran, state media reports

At least 30 military personnel and one Red Crescent staff member have been killed in Israeli attacks on Iran’s northwestern province of East Azerbaijan, Iranian state media is reporting. Fifty-five others were reportedly injured in the strikes.

Behram Sarmast, the province’s governor, told state television that the attacks had struck 19 locations across the province, mainly in the capital, Tabriz, which has been a major target for Israel.

Sarmast said that beyond the 12 strikes on Tabriz, the counties of Bostanabad, Shabestar, Azarshahr, Maragheh and Turkmenchay were also hit.
