The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has targeted industrial sites deep inside the Israeli-occupied territories with a barrage of ballistic missiles in direct retaliation for the Tel Aviv regime’s strikes on Iran’s petrochemical industry.
The IRGC Public Relations Department announced in a statement on Monday that the strikes hit petrochemical facilities in the port city of Haifa with missiles, in reprisal for a similar US-Israeli attack on the Karoun petrochemical plant in Iran’s strategic southern port city of Mahshahr.
The statement emphasized that the Zionist regime had “launched a dangerous game” by attacking civilian facilities and energy infrastructure of Iran.
It warned that strikes on Iran’s civilian infrastructure and energy facilities would expand the scope of retaliation, which will include all energy targets in the region.
The IRGC noted that the United States, as the main instigator of such a scenario, would then have to bear responsibility for all potential consequences that the global economy has to endure.
Earlier on Monday, local officials said the Karoun Petrochemical Company in Mahshahr came under an Israeli aerial attack, with projectiles striking parts of the facility and causing damage.
According to the Mahshahr Petrochemical Special Economic Zone Organization, emergency evacuation orders were issued for all daytime staff following a decision by civil defense and crisis management authorities, while operational personnel were instructed to continue work.
