Iranian state‑linked media reported that gas processing facilities and a section of pipeline in the Isfahan and Khorramshahr regions were struck amid ongoing military operations, even as former U.S. President Donald Trump recently announced a temporary pause in planned attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure. Tehran accused U.S. and Israeli forces of carrying out the strikes, saying they occurred despite Washington’s earlier declaration of a five‑day halt on targeting power plants and energy sites.
Iranian outlets claimed the damaged installations included a gas management station, a pressure reduction facility in Isfahan and pipeline infrastructure near Khorramshahr—although authorities reported no immediate major disruption to overall gas distribution. Iranian officials have not publicly detailed the full extent of the impact but warned the strikes could deepen regional tensions.
The reports come amid conflicting messages about the status of U.S. strikes. A separate report indicated that while President Trump ordered a delay in attacks on energy targets to create space for potential diplomatic talks, the pause does not extend to other military targets, and operations against Iran’s broader military infrastructure continue.
Iran has repeatedly denied that direct negotiations with the U.S. are underway, dismissing diplomatic outreach claims as false even as violence in the region escalates and infrastructure remains under threat.
