Iranian outlets have published a video showing rising smoke from the vicinity of the Karun Petrochemical Company in the city of Mahshahr, southwestern Iran, following the Israeli attack.
The strikes, which occurred around 7:30am, involved two hits on the facility. There were no casualties while any damage is still being assessed, it said.
The Mahshahr Special Economic Zone Organization for Petrochemicals announced the evacuation of day-shift employees.
Earlier, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it attacked a petrochemical plant in Israel’s Haifa in response, along with two military bases. The extent of damage at all three sites remains unclear.
