South Pars/Asaluyeh gas-processing facilities — Israeli strike

18 March 2026

Asaluyeh, Bushehr Province, Iran

What happened

Israel struck gas-processing infrastructure serving the South Pars field around Asaluyeh. Iran's National Iranian Gas Company said part of the refining units was damaged and that a resulting fire was extinguished, with cooling and restoration work under way. It reported no casualties and said gas production continued and the national network remained stable. Several field phases were reportedly evacuated or stopped locally, but the reviewed official account did not quantify the affected capacity or establish a field-wide shutdown, so no shutdown percentage is assigned.
