Isfahan: Israel launched an airstrike targeting Iran's energy infrastructure, marking a significant escalation in regional hostilities. Meanwhile, Isfahan University of Technology in Isfahan suffered a second airstrike this week, directly hitting one of its research institutes. This attack caused damage to several buildings and left four staff members with minor injuries.

According to Thai News Agency, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) responded to these attacks by declaring US universities in the Gulf region, such as those in Qatar and the UAE, as well as universities in Israel, as legitimate targets for potential retaliation. The IRGC has set a deadline for the US to condemn the attack by noon today to prevent further retaliatory actions.

In a related incident, Iran launched a missile attack on a chemical plant in an industrial complex near Beersheba, Israel. The attack resulted in a severe fire, which was declared a hazardous materials incident due to the potential risk of a chemical leak. Pesticide storage tanks caught fire, but authorities confirmed that no hazardous materials leaked outside, posing no public risk. Only one worker sustained minor injuries from the incident.
