Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) launched an attack on a refinery in Israel’s Haifa in response to a US-Israeli strike on Iran’s energy infrastructure. The IRGC, as reported by Sepah News, used Kheibarshekan missiles to target the Haifa refinery. Simultaneously, the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company disclosed that US-Israeli attacks hit energy facilities in Tehran and Alborz, causing fires at oil depots, which are now being contained by firefighting teams.
Tehran experienced heavy attacks with explosions heard across the city on the same night. The recent escalation follows joint strikes by Israel and the US on Tehran and other Iranian cities on February 28, resulting in casualties including Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and high-ranking officials. In response, Iran conducted multiple missile and drone attacks on Israel and US bases in the region.
Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, criticized the US and Israel, accusing them of attempting to destabilize Iran. Larijani urged US President Donald Trump to acknowledge his errors and the influence of Israel, emphasizing that the Iranian people will not forget the harm caused.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi revealed ongoing communication with his Saudi counterpart to ensure Saudi Arabia does not permit its territory to be used against Iran. Saudi officials have reportedly affirmed their commitment to preventing any hostile actions against Iran from their land, airspace, or waters.
