Iran threatened to strike energy infrastructure in neighbouring countries and the broader region if Israeli attacks on Iranian energy facilities continue, as the two sides exchanged strikes on petrochemical sites on Monday.
An unnamed source told IRGC-affiliated Fars News Agency that any further strikes on Iran's energy facilities would trigger attacks on energy assets of the US, Israel and their regional partners.
The source said oil companies and energy firms operating in the region with US or Israeli shareholders were considered legitimate targets.
Earlier on Monday, Iranian media reported that Israel had struck the Karun petrochemical plant.
The facility is located in the port city of Mahshahr in Khuzestan province, in southwest Iran, one of the country's main petrochemical and industrial zones.
