The Air Force today (Monday) strongly attacked the largest petrochemical facility in Iran, located in Islawiya.

Now the two facilities, which together account for approximately 85% of Iran's petrochemical exports, have been taken out of service and are not functioning.

Defense Minister Israel Katz: "The IDF has now strongly attacked the largest petrochemical facility in Iran - a key target responsible for approximately 50 percent of the country's petrochemical production, after the second key facility was attacked last week.".

""Now the two facilities, which together account for approximately 85% of Iran's petrochemical exports, have been taken out of service and are not functioning.".

""This is a severe economic blow worth tens of billions of dollars to the Iranian regime. The petrochemical industry is a central engine in financing the activities of the Revolutionary Guards and in building Iran's military power.".

Katz added: "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I have instructed the IDF to continue to attack with all force the national infrastructure of the Iranian terrorist regime.

""The Iranian terrorist regime will discover that continued aggression against Israel and the cowardly and criminal shooting at Israeli citizens will deepen the economic and strategic damage it is paying and will lead to the collapse of its capabilities.".

""I thank my dear IDF commanders and soldiers for their activity and heroism in all sectors.".
