A second petrochemical facility in Iran was hit by airstrikes, Iranian media reports.
“A few minutes ago, the Marvdasht Petrochemical Complex was targeted by an American-Zionist enemy attack,” the Fars news agency reports.
Fars says a fire that sparked at the complex was brought under control, and no casualties were caused.
Earlier, Israel confirmed striking Iran’s largest petrochemical facility in Asaluyeh. Over the weekend, Israel also struck petrochemical facilities in southern Iran.
Defense Minister Israel Katz said earlier that the IDF has been instructed “to continue striking with full force the national infrastructure of the Iranian terror regime.”
