The Bazan Petroleum Company reported to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange that
Iranian missiles overnight had inflicted localized damage to pipelines and
transmission lines at its Haifa Bay complex.

According to company statements, refining operations are continuing, but
several facilities on-site were temporarily shut down. The company is
currently assessing the impact of the damage on overall operations

and working to resume activity at affected units.

There have been no reported casualties from the Haifa strike, but the damage
underscores the increasing vulnerability

of critical energy infrastructure amid rising operations.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had announced that Iran successfully
targeted "Israel's" Haifa oil refinery

on Saturday as it exacts the second phase of Operation True Promise 3.
In contrast minimal, if any, damage in Iran

Meanwhile, *Al Mayadeen*'s correspondent in Tehran confirmed that the
Israeli aggression did not target any oil refineries south of the Iranian
capital.

*Tasnim* and *Fars *news agencies had reported that an Israeli drone
targeted a refinery in Iran's South Pars gas field on Saturday. The strike
reportedly occurred in Phase 14 of the field, which Iran shares with Qatar
across the Persian Gulf. If confirmed, this would represent the first known
Israeli strike on Iran’s oil and natural gas infrastructure.

The site allegedly hit in South Pars is a strategically significant
location, though early reports confirmed minimal physical damage

It is also equipped with air defense systems, part of a broader network
that "Israel" has been attacking since Friday. There have been no confirmed
reports of casualties from the strike.
