TEHRAN - Iranian media reported on March 24 that Israeli-US strikes targeted two gas facilities and a pipeline, hours after US President Donald Trump stepped back from his threat to attack power infrastructure.

“As part of the ongoing attacks carried out by the Zionist and American enemy, the gas administration building and the gas pressure regulation station on Kaveh Street in Isfahan were targeted,” said the Fars news agency.

The facilities in central Iran were “partially damaged”, added Fars, which did not provide a source and was Iran’s only news outlet to report the incident.

It said an attack also targeted the gas pipeline of the Khorramshahr power plant, in the country’s south-west.

“A projectile hit the area outside the Khorramshahr gas pipeline processing station,” Fars reported, quoting the governor of the city bordering Iraq.

The governor said the infrastructure was operating normally and there was no disruption to the gas supply.
