Israel Targets Iran’s Asaluyeh Petrochemical Hub, Says Defence Minister

Israel has carried out strikes on Iran’s key petrochemical hub in Asaluyeh, with Defence Minister Israel Katz calling the move a major hit to Iran’s economic infrastructure.

According to Iranian media reports, multiple blasts were heard around the South Pars petrochemical complex on Monday. While some critical utility providers in the area—supplying electricity, water, and oxygen—were impacted, initial reports indicate that the main petrochemical facilities themselves have not suffered direct damage.

However, the attacks disrupted operations significantly, as power supply to petrochemical units in the region was reportedly cut following the incident.

This development follows earlier tensions between the two nations. In March, Israel had targeted Iran’s South Pars gas field and nearby infrastructure, which led to retaliatory strikes by Iran on energy-related assets across the Middle East.

The latest escalation highlights growing risks to energy and petrochemical supply chains in the region.
