Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Motzei Shabbos confirmed that the IDF attacked Iranian petrochemical factories.

“After we destroyed 70% of its ability to create steel, which is used as the raw material for the weapons used against us, today we attacked their petrochemical factories,” he stated. “These two industries serve as their money machine, which funds their war of terror against us and the entire world.”

“I promised we will continue to crush the terrorist regime in Tehran, and that is exactly what we’re doing,” Netanyahu concluded.

Earlier, the IDF confirmed that its forces struck a petrochemical complex in Mahshahr, in southern Iran, saying that the facilities in the complex produced and exported chemical materials for explosives, ballistic missiles, and other weapons.

The IDF said that the attack not only halted all production of chemical materials but also dealt a severe financial blow to the Iranian regime, with an estimated loss of billions of dollars.
