The Israeli Air Force struck a natural gas processing facility in southwestern Iran, two senior Israeli officials said. Why it matters: This is the first time Israel has struck natural gas facilities in Iran, which are key to Iran's economy. The Israeli officials said the strike was coordinated with and approved by the Trump administration. The semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported that several facilities in the South Pars gas field near Bushehr were targeted. According to the report, emergency teams were on the scene and trying to extinguish the fire.Flashback: The Trump administration objected to Israel's earlier strike on oil depots in Tehran and asked Israel not to hit energy infrastructure without U.S. approval. What they are saying: "Remember, for all of those absolute 'fools' out there, Iran is considered, by everyone, to be the NUMBER ONE STATE SPONSOR OF TERROR. We are rapidly putting them out of business!" President Trump wrote on Truth Social shortly after the Israeli strike.
