According to Iran’s Fars News Agency, a security official in Khuzestan Province confirmed that the Karun Petrochemical Company in Mahshahr was struck during the attack. The official stated that parts of the facility sustained damage, while a detailed assessment of losses and any possible casualties is still underway.
Israeli authorities also acknowledged carrying out an operation in the area.
