IRGC strikes Haifa in retaliation for petrochemical plant attack

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on Monday that it had struck industrial facilities in Haifa, Israel, with missiles in retaliation for a US-Israeli attack on an Iranian petrochemical plant. The IRGC warned that continued targeting of civilian and energy infrastructure would engulf all regional energy targets.

In a statement, the IRGC public relations office said that the Aerospace Force personnel launched the missile strike in response to the enemy aggression against one of Iran's petrochemical industries. The statement confirmed that similar industrial facilities in Haifa were hit.

The IRGC warned that the "Zionist enemy" had started a dangerous game by targeting civilian installations and oil industries, and that the scope of the response would encompass all energy targets in the region. "The consequences for the global economy will be borne by the main arsonist in this arena, America," the IRGC said.

According to Mehr News Agency, the IRGC's statement did not specify the exact extent of damage or casualties in Haifa. The attack marks a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel, with potential implications for regional stability and global energy markets.
