Netanyahu claims Israel has destroyed Iran’s largest petrochemical plant

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that Israel has destroyed the largest petrochemical plant in Iran.

“We are systematically dismantling the IRGC’s (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) money machine,” a post on the Prime Minister of Israel’s X account says.

In a separate statement, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says it struck Iran’s two largest petrochemical complexes, rendering more than 85% of its petrochemical exports inoperable.

The IDF claims a site at Asaluyeh was used as a hub for making “essential components for the Iranian regime’s missile industry”.

Also, during his briefing earlier, President Donald Trump said he spoke to Netanyahu on Sunday.
