Israel attacked a key petrochemical plant at Iran’s massive South Pars natural gas field, according to several news agencies.

Israel’s defence minister Israel Katz confirmed what he called “a powerful strike on the largest petrochemical facility in Iran” that’s responsible for half of the country’s petrochemical production. Israel’s military spokesperson, Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani, said there would be “no immunity” for Iran as talks progress.

Katz’s statement on an Israeli attack on a petrochemical facility follows an earlier report from the Fars news agency that “several explosions” had been heard from the South Pars petrochemical plant in Asaluyeh.

It puts into question the negotiations aimed at getting the US and Tehran to reach a ceasefire. The gas field shared with Qatar is the world’s largest and sits under the waters of the Persian Gulf. The strikes come weeks after international outcry over Israel’s attack on Iran’s South Pars gas field on 18 March.

It’s weird, Demented Donny has taken a pariah nation that most people really would like regime change to occur in and created an underdog that people are rooting for. I wonder how much longer the people in the US are able to put up with it before he is replaced?

Israel sure does talk a lot of shit for a country that won't put its own soldiers in danger. The joke is we not only let them get away with little dog big ego syndrome, it's that we let our children die to further it. Pathetic.
