US and Israeli forces conducted coordinated strikes on energy infrastructure in Isfahan and Khorramshahr early Tuesday. The attacks damaged a gas administration building, a pressure reduction station, and a gas pipeline connected to a power station.
The operation occurred hours after President Trump announced a five-day postponement of military action against Iranian energy targets. This escalation impacts a market already facing the largest oil supply disruption in history according to the International Energy Agency.
A senior Iranian official vowed a severe and comprehensive response to the targeting of critical facilities. The strikes on key production regions increase the risk of a wider conflict capable of further crippling global energy supply chains.
