Israel Strikes Iranian Petrochemical Hub

The Israeli military intensified its campaign against Iranian assets by striking a major petrochemical complex in the oil-rich Khuzestan province.

Witnesses reported dozens of explosions that took utility plants offline, disrupting gas and power services across the sprawling industrial zone.

Iranian state media claims at least five people were killed and over 170 injured in the bombardment.

This strike represents a major escalation in the targeting of economic infrastructure during the ongoing war.
