🚨This is a massive escalation in the war.
Israel and the U.S. just struck South Pars, Iran's largest gas field and the largest in the world.
South Pars accounts for 75% of Iran's gas production and gas fuels 85% of Iran's electricity grid.
This isn't just hitting military targets anymore. This is crippling civilian infrastructure that keeps the lights on for millions of Iranians.
Iran's tit-for-tat response: ordered evacuations at 4 major energy facilities in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, plus refineries in Haifa, Israel.
Iran warned they'd retaliate for energy infrastructure strikes. Now they're announcing which facilities they're about to hit.
The message: if you destroy our grid, we'll destroy energy hubs in countries hosting your forces and strike yours directly.
This is a new phase. Both sides are now openly targeting critical energy infrastructure that affects entire populations.
