Iran Blames Israel for Gas Pipeline Sabotage

Iran has accused Israel of being behind two attacks on gas pipelines that disrupted supplies in several provinces, further escalating tensions between the two countries. The explosions hit Iran’s leading south-north gas pipeline network, with the Iranian Oil Minister claiming that the plot was foiled. While Israel has not acknowledged carrying out the attacks, Iran has generally blamed agents of Israel for similar acts of alleged sabotage in the past. The war on Gaza has worsened relations between the two countries, with other regional actors also getting involved in the conflict.
