The attack marked another significant blow to Iran's leadership structure, coming after a series of targeted assassinations that have severely depleted Iran's senior officials.

Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who has remained largely unseen since succeeding his slain father, has vowed to avenge these killings.

Revolutionary Guards issued a stark warning to Gulf neighbors, threatening to completely destroy their energy infrastructure if further attacks on Iran's own energy sector occur.

The Iranian media reported that facilities in the South Pars Special Economic Zone in Asaluyeh were hit by what they described as 'projectiles fired by the American-Zionist enemy', though US sources denied involvement in the attack.
