The increasingly tense situation in the Middle East escalated again on June 14. In the afternoon, Israeli forces targeted Iran's strategically important energy facilities, the country's state news agency Fars and the opposition-affiliated Iran International reported.
The strikes reportedly targeted the Fajr-Jam oil processing complex in the Kangan port area in the southwest of the country. The South Pars gas field, one of the world's largest natural gas fields, was also hit.
According to Iran International, South Pars is a gas field of strategic importance not only to Iran but also to Qatar. The attack was carried out by a drone, which caused a fire in the field and caused extensive damage.
Subsequent reports by Iranian media said that the fires were contained and brought under control by local firefighters and special services.
It should be noted that these attacks followed the strikes on nuclear facilities carried out the day before. On June 13, the Israeli air force also caused significant damage to the uranium enrichment complex located in the Iranian city of Isfahan. This incident caused serious concern in the international community.
Also, on June 14, an official representative of the Israeli army made a statement and announced that Iran's air defense system had been completely destroyed and that Israel was fully controlling the country's airspace.
These events indicate that the conflict in the Middle East is reaching a new stage. According to experts, military clashes between Iran and Israel could pose a major threat not only to regional but also global energy security. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
