The IDF addressed the strike on Iran's largest petrochemical complex in Asaluyeh, which according to the military is responsible for producing and exporting chemical materials to armed forces subordinate to the regime, including the Nuclear Ministry and the Revolutionary Guards. The IDF claims that by striking the two main and largest petrochemical complexes in Iran, over 85% of the country's petrochemical export capabilities were disabled. It was reported that Asaluyeh housed a central infrastructure for producing materials used in manufacturing explosives and propellant for ballistic missiles and other means of warfare.
