Iran Reports US-Israel Strikes on Gas Field and Multiple Provinces
Iranian state media reported that joint strikes by the United States and Israel hit multiple locations across Iran, including the capital Tehran, Lorestan province, Hamedan city, and Fars province. A significant attack targeted the South Pars Special Economic Energy Zone in Asaluyeh, Bushehr province, causing fires at the world's largest known gas reserve. State television cited local officials stating that projectiles fired by the 'American-Zionist enemy' struck the facilities, prompting the dispatch of firefighting teams. Additionally, Tasnim news agency claimed that seven people were killed and 56 injured in an attack on residential areas in Dorud town, Lorestan province, though these figures remain independently unverified. The incident has drawn sharp condemnation from regional neighbors. Qatar’s foreign ministry spokesman described the targeting of energy infrastructure linked to the shared North Field as dangerous and irresponsible, warning of threats to global energy security. The United Arab Emirates also condemned the attacks as a dangerous escalation with serious environmental and civilian risks. This event marks a significant intensification in regional military tensions, directly impacting critical energy assets and raising concerns about broader geopolitical stability and safety in the Middle East.
