Israel has struck a petrochemical facility in Iran, marking the first attack on the country's energy infrastructure since the ceasefire reached on April 8.
The strike raises fresh concerns about the stability of the truce amid escalating tensions between the two countries.
Israel said it targeted the Mahshahr petrochemical complex in southwestern Iran as part of a broader wave of strikes on military objectives, reported Reuters, citing Iran's semi-official Fars news agency, where officials said that the facility sustained damage in the attack.
"A short while ago, the Israeli Air Force struck military targets belonging to the Iranian terror regime in western and central Iran," the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) wrote on Telegram.
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for the first missile attack on Israel since the ceasefire, while warning they could target Israeli-linked shipping in the Red Sea.
