Israel launched strikes on Iran’s South Pars gas field, targeting key energy infrastructure and killing IRGC intelligence chief Majid Khademi, officials confirmed. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said the operation aimed at “terrorist leaders.” The strikes were part of broader US-Israeli attacks that reportedly killed 25 people. Iran retaliated with drones and missiles, hitting targets in the Gulf and Israel, with casualties reported in Haifa. South Pars, the world’s largest gas reserve, supplies 70% of Iran’s gas. The International Atomic Energy Agency warned of strikes near Bushehr nuclear plant, raising serious nuclear safety concerns despite no confirmed damage.
