Report: Israel expects Iranian escalation after attack on gas facility
Israel Hayom cites a source with knowledge of the latest strike on Iran’s energy facilities, saying the strike on the major gas field marks “an escalation” that harms around a fifth of Iran’s gas processing capacity.
According to the source, Iran is likely to respond by attempting to target energy infrastructure in Israel and possibly across the region.
