On the early morning of the 19th local time, Iran launched the 63rd round of Operation “True Commitment-4.” The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued an emergency statement, announcing a large-scale missile attack on oil and energy facilities related to the United States in the region. This operation is a direct retaliatory response to the earlier attack on Iran’s energy infrastructure on the 18th.

An important natural gas facility in Iran was attacked.

On the 18th, Israeli sources reported that the Israel Defense Forces attacked Iran’s largest natural gas facility located in Bushehr in southern Iran. This facility processes 40% of Iran’s natural gas.

Israeli officials stated that the attack was coordinated with the United States. However, a U.S. official denied U.S. involvement in the attack on Iran’s natural gas facilities, saying the operation was carried out by Israel.

U.S. officials said that President Trump was informed in advance of Israel’s plans to attack the South Pars gas field and expressed support, aiming to send a message to Iran in response to its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran launched retaliatory strikes.

Oil and gas facilities in Saudi Arabia and Qatar were attacked.

Following the attack on Iran’s energy infrastructure, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued an emergency warning that oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar have become “legitimate targets.”

On the early morning of the 19th local time, Iran launched the 63rd round of Operation “True Commitment-4.” The IRGC issued an emergency statement indicating that this retaliatory action aims to target energy facilities that serve U.S. interests or have U.S. shares. The statement emphasized that Iran initially did not want to escalate the war into the energy sector or affect neighboring countries’ economies, but enemy provocations have led the conflict into a “new phase.”

The statement confirmed that Iranian armed forces have carried out multiple rounds of strikes, ensuring that the damage inflicted on the enemy matches the destruction of Iranian infrastructure. It also warned that if attacks continue, Iran will expand its strikes to all energy infrastructure of U.S. and Israel allies until they are “completely destroyed.”
