Israel struck Iran’s largest petrochemical complex on Monday (Apr 6), as the Islamic Republic defied threats from US President Donald Trump to devastate civilian infrastructure if it does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Several explosions were heard at the South Pars Petrochemical complex in Assaluyeh.Companies that provide electricity, water and oxygen to Assaluyeh were attacked, but the Pars petrochemical company has not been damaged. Located in the Persian Gulf, the reservoir is shared by Iran and Qatar. It holds an estimated 51 trillion cubic metres of usable gas – enough to supply the world’s needs for 13 years. An Israeli attack in March on South Pars facilities sparked major Iranian attacks targeting oil and gas infrastructure across the Gulf Arab states, including strikes on Qatar’s huge Ras Laffan liquefied natural gas facility.
