PNN – The military and strategic expert stated that Iran’s targeting of a chemical plant near Beersheba on Sunday, in retaliation for the occupation regime’s bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities, was “an exchange of messages on the verge of danger.”
According to the report of Pakistan News Network; Brigadier General Juni added that this escalation of tensions between Iran and Israel comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to stop the war and represents a threat of more serious attacks between the two sides.
He explained to Al Jazeera that Iran, while responding to US and Israeli attacks, has so far met every threat with a similar and proportionate response.
According to the military expert, this confirms its continued influence in the conflict.
Jouni noted that Iran’s targeting of the Beersheba chemical plant demonstrates the precision of the Iranian missile, which Israeli defenses were unable to intercept.
The military expert’s comments come as the aggressor regime’s emergency services reported at least one injury following Iran’s attack on the Beersheba chemical plant.
The Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that 34 Israeli fire brigades were trying to put out the fire that broke out at the Adama plant in Beersheba.
According to the Fire and Rescue Organization: The incident is completely contained within the industrial area and has not spread beyond it. There is no danger to residents of neighboring communities within 800 meters of the industrial area.
The Adama plant is an industrial facility that was damaged this afternoon (Sunday) in an industrial area as a result of shrapnel hit from a ballistic missile fired from Iran towards southern Israel.
Channel 12 Hebrew reported a suspected leak of hazardous materials from a chemical plant in southern Israel after the Iranian missile hit.
Meanwhile, Israeli firefighters are trying to contain a fire at a chemical plant in southern Israel after it was hit by an Iranian missile.
RIA Novosti also reported that Israeli police have cordoned off the area around a chemical plant that was hit by an Iranian missile in southern Israel.
Sirens also sounded in Dimona, home to Israel’s nuclear reactor, and in the Negev. Iranian attacks also focused on sites in northern Israel and the port of Haifa, home to vital fuel and oil terminals.
It is worth noting that US and Israeli attacks have previously targeted a range of sensitive industrial facilities in Iran, including steel and cement plants and facilities related to the nuclear program, marking a significant escalation in the nature of the targets since the start of the last confrontation.
While Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said Iran would make the regime pay a heavy price for “Israeli crimes,” the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps threatened to retaliate for the attacks.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps also threatened to target Israeli and American universities in the region in response to the attack on the University of Science and Technology in Tehran on Saturday.
