Israel's defense minister says struck Iran's largest petrochemical facility

Defense Minister Israel Katz said Monday that Israel had conducted a "powerful strike" on Iran's largest petrochemical facility in Assaluyeh, after Iranian media reported multiple explosions at the site.

"The Israel Defense Forces have just carried out a powerful strike on Iran's largest petrochemical facility, located in Assaluyeh -- a central target responsible for about 50 percent of the country's petrochemical production," Katz said in a video statement.
