US EditionIsrael defense minister says forces hit South Pars petrochemical plant in Iran
Israel said the plant produced about 50% of Iran’s petrochemicals and was part of a wider wave of strikes that killed more than 25 people.
- On Monday, Israel struck a key petrochemical plant at the South Pars gas field, killing two paramilitary Revolutionary Guard commanders and jeopardizing a proposed 45-day ceasefire between Iran and the United States.
- Egyptian, Pakistani, and Turkish mediators sent the 45-day ceasefire proposal late Sunday to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, though neither nation has responded.
- Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the strike on the facility, which produces half of Iran's petrochemicals, while Brent crude oil rose to $109 in Monday spot trading, about 50% higher than when the war started.
- President Donald Trump warned Tehran that if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, the United States will set the country "back to the stone ages," with his deadline expiring Monday night.
- European Council president Antonio Costa condemned the targeting of energy facilities as "illegal and unacceptable," arguing that escalation undermines peace and only negotiations can resolve the conflict.
