The Iranian news agency Fars threatened that in response to the attack on the petrochemical complex in Mosha'ar, Iran will not only attack oil, gas, and petrochemical facilities in Israel and Arab countries - but will also expand the targets to all essential energy infrastructures

Among the targets defined as "legitimate targets" according to the Iranian news agency Fars: the Israeli Electric Company, Marafiq company in Saudi Arabia - supplying electricity, desalinated water, and industrial steam to the industrial cities of Yanbu and Jubail, TAQA company in the UAE - operator of large-scale power generation facilities, and companies related to QatarEnergy - responsible for supplying energy and water to LNG and petrochemical complexes in Ras Laffan in Qatar

Reports from Iran: The US military is conducting airstrikes in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province in the southwest of the country, apparently against Iranian forces on the ground trying to locate the downed pilot. According to reports, there are several dead and injured, but it is unclear whether they are members of the Revolutionary Guards or local civilians who joined the search. Media outlets affiliated with the regime are spreading the narrative that the US military is trying to eliminate the pilot to prevent his capture.

Two senior officials in Iran's oil ministry told The New York Times: Israel's attack on the largest petrochemical center in Iran has led to a complete shutdown of all production in the complex. The attacks targeted two service facilities called Fajr 1 and Fajr 2, which provided more than 50 petrochemical plants operating in the complex with the basic services required for their operation, including gas, electricity, and industrial water. The two officials said that the complete shutdown of the plants is a severe blow whose full extent is difficult to assess for the already fragile Iranian economy. According to them, restoring the service facilities and returning the production lines to full operation may take about two years.

American journalist Jack Murphy:

The co-pilot of the F-15 plane was returned alive after escaping and evading. A heavy firefight took place at the site, with Iranian forces actively searching for him in the area.

According to the report on Fox News: The American weapons systems officer from the downed F-15 plane was rescued safely. The American crew member used "Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape" training to avoid capture, hid on an elevated ridge after moving away on foot from the crash site, and activated a distress transmitter. Rescue forces from the American special forces along with many elite units participated in a complex, multi-stage mission—both to locate the crew member and to stop the Iranian forces searching for him. According to reports, videos from local eyewitnesses were circulated, allegedly showing wounded and dead among the Revolutionary Guards and Basij forces who were searching for the downed American crew member. Fox reported that ground battles took place, but there were no casualties to the U.S. military during the operation.

IDF Spokesperson:

IDF reveals: About 165 launches were fired by the Hezbollah terrorist organization and fell inside or near UNIFIL positions in Lebanon

Throughout the war, the Hezbollah terrorist organization exploits its proximity to UNIFIL positions to promote terrorist activities against the State of Israel.

The IDF now reveals that since the beginning of Operation "Lion's Roar," about 165 launches fired by the Hezbollah terrorist organization have been identified falling inside or near UNIFIL positions.

The Hezbollah terrorist organization systematically violates international law and continues to operate while endangering international forces and harming UN personnel operating in the area.

Throughout the fighting in southern Lebanon, the IDF maintains the coordination mechanism with UNIFIL forces present in the area.

Defense Minister Katz:

Congratulates our American partners on the safe rescue of the aircrew - this is another expression of the close cooperation between Israel and the USA, even in the most complex moments

Defense Minister:

The Air Force strikes yesterday on key sites in the petrochemical industry in Iran have paralyzed their activity.

The petrochemical industry has brought in about 18 billion dollars to the Revolutionary Guards in the last two years, and directly serves the Iranian missile production industry.

Please Iran be stiff-necked

Trump:

• If Iran doesn't quickly reach a deal - we will take their oil.

• We have transferred a lot of weapons to protesters in Iran, I believe the Kurds are holding them.
