The Israeli Air Force bombed two of Iran’s largest steel factories a short while ago, according to Iranian media and Israeli security sources.
The Fars news agency reports that the strikes hit Khuzestan Steel near Ahvaz and Mobarakeh Steel in Isfahan.
The strikes on the factories, which are partially owned by the IRGC, are expected to cause major damage to the Iranian economy.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz had ordered the strikes. Earlier, Katz said that Israel would intensify its strikes against Iran.
