Borujen, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, and southern Fars Province, Iran

What happened

Explosions and fires struck two points on Iran’s main gas-transmission network: a high-pressure line near Borujen in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province and another line in Fars Province. Iranian Oil Minister Javad Owji described the event as deliberate terrorist sabotage; no casualties were reported, fires were contained, and repairs began after temporary supply disruption in several provinces. A week later Owji attributed the operation to Israel, but supplied no public evidence and Israel did not acknowledge responsibility. This grouped marker is placed near Borujen because the precise Fars site was not disclosed.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
