Israel has escalated its ongoing conflict with Iran, striking the world's largest gas field and other energy infrastructure as part of a two-day assault that had otherwise largely targeted sites and personnel tied to the Islamic Republic's armed forces and nuclear program.

Iranian semi-official media outlets, including Tasnim News Agency and Fars News Agency, reported on Saturday that an Israeli drone struck Iran's South Pars Gas Field, which is shared with Qatar, where it is known as the North Dome Gas Field. The attack was said to have targeted Phase 14 refineries of the Iranian section, with at least one unit reportedly on fire, leading to a suspension in operations.

Footage circulating on news channels and social media appeared to show flames and smoke rising from a section of the complex, which is located in the Kangan area of Iran's south coast Bushehr province.

Next, they'll start targeting schools, because that's where the Iranian government indoctrinates its children, and hospitals because that's where they treat Iranian soldiers injured in Israeli attacks. See, folks? They're just trying to help. /s

The new Western narrative is how heroic Israel is for striking oil fields and crippling the Iranian economy in order to stage a regime change.

Now Israel is allowed to attack ports and refineries and literally any civilian infrastructure and they are painted as heroes.

Russia could only dream of this level of propaganda.
