The IAF on Monday morning struck several targets at the petrochemical complex in Mahshahr, in southwestern Iran, the IDF confirmed. "The Israeli Air Force, acting on precise IDF intelligence, struck several infrastructure sites at the petrochemical complex in Mahshahr, in southwestern Iran," a later statement read. "These facilities were used by the armed forces of the Iranian terror regime to produce and export raw materials for weapons production."
"The targeted infrastructure produced unique materials that serve as critical components for the development of ballistic missiles, which pose a threat to the State of Israel and its civilians. These are critical components of the production infrastructure supporting the Iranian terror regime’s missile program." Since Iran began striking Israel on Sunday night, Israel has responded with two waves of attacks, focused on strategic area of Iran.
The first wave focused on striking surface-to-air missile systems, which make up Iran’s air defense array, in several areas of Tehran, as well as in central and western Iran, in order to disrupt the Iranian regime’s ability to detect and intercept threats. The second wave of the operation targeted energy and industrial infrastructure in southwestern Iran. Israeli Air Force forces struck the petrochemical plant in the Ahvaz area. (Source)
