Israel and Iran attack each other's energy facilities, oil prices rise

The conflict between Israel and Iran has escalated into a new phase, with both sides directly attacking each other's key energy infrastructure. Israel struck Iran's South Pars gas field, one of the world's largest. Iran responded by attacking energy facilities in the Gulf region and striking strategic targets in Israel, including oil refineries.

These attacks have caused significant disruption to energy markets. Oil and gas prices have soared following the strikes. The situation has drawn international attention, with President Donald Trump commenting that he would not deploy troops but also warning Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against attacking Tehran's gas field.

The military exchanges are ongoing, with reports indicating Iran has fired multiple barrages at Israel. The conflict, which has also reportedly involved an increase in Israeli assassinations, is now centered on damaging critical energy assets, marking a significant widening of the hostilities.
