Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a new warning today, saying Iran's enemies should "expect strong action" from the country's armed forces, following what it described as an attack on Iran's fuel and energy infrastructure.
In the last hour, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned of "consequences beyond control" after an attack on the South Pars gas field. Pezeshkian said the situation " could lead to consequences beyond control, the scope of which would encompass the entire world."
The warning came after Tehran accused the United States and Israel of attacking parts of Iran's oil and natural gas production facilities, including the South Pars natural gas field, the world's largest.
If confirmed, this would mark the first attacks on Iranian oil and natural gas production facilities in this war. Last week, Israel attacked a number of Iranian fuel depots.
An Israeli source told CNN earlier Wednesday that Israel had attacked the Asaluyeh facility in southwestern Iran. Another Israeli official said the Israeli attack on Iran's South Pars facility was carried out in coordination with the United States.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard said in a statement that a "criminal enemy" had "violated part of Iran's fuel and energy infrastructure" and repeated previous threats to retaliate if Iran's energy, gas or economic facilities were targeted.
Iran considers the targeting of the fuel, energy and gas infrastructure of the "country of origin" "legitimate" and would respond "as soon as possible," the statement added.
The IRGC also called for the evacuation of residents and employees at several oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
Following the warning, the Saudi Defense Ministry said four ballistic missiles were intercepted over the capital, Riyadh. The ministry also said it had intercepted two drones. One of them “tried to approach one of the gas plants in the Eastern Region.”
Qatar's Foreign Ministry called the missile attack on Ras Laffan "shameful" and said that " the Iranian side continues its escalating policies that are pushing the region towards the abyss ."
