The Iran-Israel conflict appears to be entering a dangerous new stage. Israeli airstrikes reportedly damaged part of the Karun Petrochemical Company in Iran's Khuzestan province, prompting emergency evacuations and raising concerns about attacks on civilian energy infrastructure. Iran responded by launching missile strikes against industrial and energy-related facilities in Haifa, one of Israel's most important refinery and logistics hubs. The IRGC has also warned that future attacks could expand to include energy assets linked to Israel and its regional partners. Analysts warn that a direct energy war between Iran and Israel could have consequences far beyond the battlefield, particularly given Iran's position near the Strait of Hormuz and Haifa's importance to Israel's economy and fuel network.
