Israel conducted covert attacks on two major gas pipelines in Iran, disrupting gas flow to several provinces and marking an escalation in the ongoing shadow war between the two nations. The attacks, which required deep knowledge of Iran's infrastructure, targeted pipelines carrying gas from the south to major cities, affecting residential homes, government buildings, and factories. Despite the significant disruption, Iran's oil minister claimed the damage was minimal and service was restored quickly. The attacks are seen as a major challenge to Iran's intelligence and security agencies and expose the vulnerability of the country's critical infrastructure.
