Israel strikes Iran's largest petrochemical facility

 ALBAWABA - Israel's Defence Minister, Israel Katz, announced Monday that the army had conducted a "powerful strike" on the largest petrochemical facility in Assaluyeh, Iran.

Iranian media also said on April 6 that multiple explosions were heard near the site of the country's largest petrochemical facility.

"The Israel Defense Forces have just carried out a powerful strike on Iran's largest petrochemical facility, located in Assaluyeh -- a central target responsible for about 50 percent of the country's petrochemical production," Katz revealed in a video statement.

Reuters, citing Iranian sources, said that petrochemical production units in Asaluyeh were damaged due to the attack by the Israeli army.
