Iran to target energy facilities in Gulf after attack on its gas field

Iran’s military says it will target energy infrastructure across the Gulf following a US-Israeli attack on its facilities at a major gas field, AFP reports citing state television.

The military’s operational command, Khatam Al-Anbiya, has said in a statement that it would “severely strike the source of the aggression and consider targeting the fuel, energy and gas infrastructure” of countries from which the attacks were launched.

Iran accuses Gulf states of allowing US forces to conduct attacks from their territory, and Iranian state television has published a list of “legitimate targets” including oil and gas facilities in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, saying they “will be targeted in the coming hours”.
