Israeli Drone Attack on Iranian Gas Facility
Dubai: Reports from semi-official Iranian news outlets indicate that an Israeli drone targeted a refinery located in Iran's South Pars gas field on Saturday.
If verified, this incident would represent the inaugural Israeli assault on Iran's oil and gas sector. As of now, Israel has not publicly confirmed the strike. Notably, these facilities are typically equipped with air defense systems, which Israel has been focusing on since Friday.
