Israel carried out attacks on two main natural gas pipelines inside Iran last Wednesday. The attacks stopped about 15 percent of Iran's daily natural gas production.
The service outage extended to residential homes, government buildings and major factories in at least five provinces across Iran. Iranian Oil Minister Javad Oji: “The enemy’s plan was to completely disrupt the flow of gas in the winter to several major cities and provinces in our country” The aim of the attack was to damage Iran's energy infrastructure and incite domestic discontent, Oji said.
