Israel Strikes Giant Gas Field

Israel has launched an attack on a giant gas field in the Persian Gulf, threatening further market turmoil. An Israeli strike on Saturday triggered a powerful explosion and fire at a natural gas processing plant linked to Iran's giant South Pars field. The strike resulted in a significant explosion and fire at the gas plant Fajr Jam. The Fajr Jam gas plant processes gas from South Pars and other fields, making it one of Iran's largest. Targeting energy assets represents a new front in the conflict, which erupted on Friday when Israel began a wave of attacks targeting the Islamic Republic's nuclear program.
