Massive explosions have been reported at an important petrochemical zone in Iran’s Khuzestan province this morning.
Iranian state media is reporting casualties and significant damage at the Mahshahr Petrochemical Special Zone.
The Times of Israel reports that the strikes were carried out by the Israeli air force.
Israel’s leadership is reported to have instructed the Israeli Defense Forces to begin targeting “economic targets” in Iran, in a bid to case “massive financial damage” to the regime.
Last weekend, President Trump reiterated his threat to attack Iran’s infrastructure, including energy facilities, if the Strait of Hormuz is not “immediately” reopened.
In a post on Truth Social, the President said, “The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran.”
He continued by hailing the “great progress” that has been made, but issued a stern warning that went beyond earlier threats to attack critical infrastructure that had previously been spared.
“Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately ‘Open for Business,’ we will conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet ‘touched.’”
President Trump ended his post by saying these actions would be “in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old Regime’s 47 year ‘Reign of Terror.’”
