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.
