In a new escalation, Israel attacked on June 14 a key gas facility in southern Iran, forcing a shut down of production there.
This was the first time Iranian civilian energy infrastructure was targeted by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) since the start of Operation Rising Lion, a large-scale attack supposedly meant to cripple the nuclear program and offensive capabilities of the Islamic Republic.
“Due to a fire in one of the four units of Phase 14 of South Pars, the production of 12 million cubic metres of gas from the Phase 14 platform has been temporarily halted until this section of the refinery is brought back into operation,” Iran’s Tasnim said in a report.
The semi-offensive news agency, citing local sources and witnesses, said that the strike was carried out using a small drone.
The strike had resulted in a fire, which the Iranian Ministry of Petroleum said was later extinguished. No casualties were reported.
There was no comment from the IDF. However, Fox News reported, citing Israeli officials, that the strike was meant to send a message to officials in Tehran. Furthermore, Israel’s Kan news reported that the IDF intends to target more Iranian energy infrastructure.
Since the start of Operation Rising Lion, the IDF has attacked more than 150 targets in Iran, including two key nuclear sites in Natanz and Isfahan. Some 30 senior commanders and prominent scientists have been also assassinated. From its side, Iran has so far fired more than 200 ballistic missiles and 100 suicide drones at Israel in response, causing casualties and material losses.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed earlier in the day that the large-scale operation would intensify dramatical.
In a video message, Netanyahu said that the operation had set back Iran’s nuclear program possibly by years and rejected international calls for restraint.
“We will hit every site and every target of the Ayatollahs’ regime, and what they have felt so far is nothing compared with what they will be handed in the coming days,” the primer added.
Meanwhile, Iran is reported to be reading more extensive missile and drone strikes against Israel, which remains on high alert.
The targeting of energy infrastructure represents a new front in the ongoing confrontation. The Israeli strike on South Pars heightens the risk to Iran, OPEC’s third-biggest producer. Energy futures could see serious hikes when trading resumes after the weekend.

hehehe iran are destroyed now. can’t even retaliate or defend themselves after zero to one day. israel basically controliran in the background. iran generals and military bring crushed and russia cannot support and lost a terror ally in mid east. brics is a big joke russia all by herself in ukraine and getting crushed with sanctions.
how old are you kid? 11 years? you say the same bullsh*r again and again. it’s not our fault that you don’t know your father. ask your mother which of the 1000’s bast*rds she sold herself too that made you a bast*rd too 😁
hes a mentally ill indian man
if he repeats it often enough, he may convince himself it is true. if he crosses his fingers, closes his eyes, and clicks his heels together 3 times, maybe it will all come true.
the jewish supremacists operate islamic terror. time and again the terrorists turn out to be israeli agents. can’t take the organized crime out of organized criminal jewish supremacists. russia is not all by herself in the failed ukranian cia project, she has all those us mercenaries and nato klowns to keep her company as she rolls on toward the reckoning in lwow.
i’m waiting for israel to blow up al aqsa mosque and try to blame iran.
jews are a dumb bunch. they think they can hammer away at every problem. they need to hammer their heads then because the problem is genetic and psyhcological
that is why tel aviv is burning and bennie nothing-yahoo is begging trumpster for help.
hehehe
why did iran stop firing rockets into the zionist entity? they taking a break?
i assume they will continue tonight and this time hit them even harder!
they were probably just permitted a limited posturing by the owners of the planet.
by the way has russia even ever attacked ukraine with 200 planes? comparing both the gaza and iran war shows who is determined to win and who is playing some game by some overlords rules.
iran is finished. they have nothing and are defeated.
in a few days time, a deputation of little black hats will be besieging the white house, demanding that chumpo save their bacon.
lol this comment didn’t age well. iranian air defense is up and israeli cities are burning.
can i get another hehehe?
just hit the gas fields in haifa. sauce for the goose…..
now would be a good time for russia to nuke the us, uk, israel and france, if we’re to get rid of satan’s disciples once and for all… but knowing what a military dwarf putin is he’ll probably leave it until it’s too late even for russia!
your falling short with your demands. because its not only us,uk,israel, but russia,china, india too are part of the global cabal called nwo resp jwo. sad but true. they are all joo-controlled entities.
it’s called capitalism. you might have heard of it.
it have morph into satanism, with mass murder in the hospitals. rightly, it is this from the beginning, with all kind of “religion”, and centralised power. little psychopaths in “un”.
it really all lead to that, the russians either nuke the us empire or get destroyed. putin has many hopes and dreams though.
false binary from a shitcock.
the wet dream of the moscow dwarf and his oligarchs is that the west will forgive them and return the money stolen from the russians and deposited in opaque accounts.
thanks for derping, shitcock.
iran is a paper tiger & will be destroyed just like syrian…eheheheeh
ay dios mio. your older brother is trying to save you but you still keep trying to swim against the rip current.
how that paper dome holding up? 🤣
first hit, then think
well done clever, king trump
arrest , deport, repeat
(or in 10 years there will be civil war between illegal migrants and us citizens and
please change all democ(rats) generals and police administrators which planning coup against you and first start from lapd)
maga
(make america great again)
you can continue yelling and crying in the streets democ(rats.
when chumpo kicks out the beaners, the maga crowd will have to fork out $500 for an orange or an avocado.
and the brainless asshole clowns may have to go pick them.
horrifying for them.
good one erwin. you’ll enjoy working out in the sun then, picking cauliflowers and zucchinis et al. 🌞
if iran is scared doesn’t retaliate fully, their will be another revolution in iran.
yes, i think so too. iran needs to get rid of the israeli puppet pezeshkian, and then do some real painful things to israel, like destroying the whole dimona complex, do some large scale operations including ordering all exiles to go and hit jooish targets all around europe and elsewhere. restart the wonderful suicide bus-bombings worldwide, hitting joos and joo-supporter everywhere, and execute every captured israeli soldier using the old islamic impaling via their anuses method.
that hezbollah suddenly stopped fighting and left the palestinians to die, was a shocking realization to me. they just abandoned the fight and gave up, and till then they are quite, not a noise from them, not rockets nothing, like little beaten dogs. its a shame, unbeleivable shame.
you can only blame the lebanese military which are the biggest cowards in the me!
‘impaling’ and ‘anuses’ ? you’ll trigger that idiot troll.
if there is a revolution, then against the hatred mullah-regime
is the ruzzian crap (s300) not functional?
🇷🇺=🤡 😆😆😆
hehe starlink activated over iran
means israeli us and eu drones going to target all-over iran. uk and france sending war planes to defend israel taking out iran. it’s bad news now for iran is going to cease to exist until it is under israel and us and eu control. us and eu regime change going to be imposed for iran tonight. russia having tel calls with his us buddy trump begging nato not to attack them.
your boy bennie is begging trump for help. seems he can’t beat an enemy that is armed with more than rocks and homemade weapons. too bad trump is busy with his lgbt military parade and rioting mulatos.
this time iran. level the airports and sea ports geeze. irael is another ukrain, dependant on outside help
time for iranians to kill the mullahs 😀
jew wet dream, their only hope. same old record. shlomo getting desperate.
he wants to avenge the deaths of his lgbt brethren.
not going to happen.
hehehe
same template of lies.
shlomo’s energy facilities in haifa are being hit.
if russia and china fail to defend iran, they are next. and if they do not know they are next, then they are screwed
this reckless, irresponsible joint adventure by the zio regime/ jewsa will end in disaster for both of them. but it will not end soon. they will achieve nothing. and they will pay an ever increasing price the longer it goes on. coupled with the looming ukraine catastrophe, it will bring about an end to both regimes.
hi. i am ayatolla assaholla
