Tehran says it has sealed off the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb. A source linked to Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf told state media the regime's next move is targeting oil and energy infrastructure in U.S.-allied Gulf states, framing it as retaliation for the Israeli strike on Mahshahr's petrochemical complex.

IDF Spokesperson:

The IDF struck another petrochemical complex in Shiraz - one of the few remaining complexes for producing essential chemical components for explosives and materials for ballistic missiles in Iran

The Air Force, guided by Military Intelligence, completed yesterday (Monday) a wide-ranging strike mission in several areas in Iran targeting key infrastructures of the Iranian terror regime.

As part of the mission, the IDF struck another petrochemical plant in Shiraz used by the armed forces in Iran to produce nitric acid, a necessary substance for manufacturing explosives and other materials in ballistic missile development processes.
This deepens the damage to the military capabilities of the regime, focusing on the production capabilities of weapons that relied on the components from the plant.

This is one of the few remaining complexes for producing essential chemical components for explosives and materials for ballistic missiles in Iran, after the IDF struck the largest petrochemical plant in Iran as well as the petrochemical complex in Mahshahr.

Simultaneously, the IDF struck a large site of the ballistic missile array in northwestern Iran. From this site, soldiers of the array launched dozens of missiles toward the territory of the State of Israel.
The site was attacked while soldiers and commanders of the missile array were operating inside to advance and carry out terror activities against the State of Israel and other countries.
