Israel conducted clandestine strikes against two key natural gas pipelines in Iran this week, marking an escalation in the years-long standoff between the two states, the New York Times has reported.
“Israel has long targeted military and nuclear sites inside Iran,” but this week’s attacks on the energy infrastructure “marked an escalation in the covert war and appeared to open a new frontier,” the NYT wrote, citing Western officials.
The newspaper’s anonymous sources also attributed a separate incident to Israeli sabotage – an explosion that rocked a chemical factory on the outskirts of Tehran on Thursday, which local officials ruled an accident.
The two gas pipelines run for more than 1,000 kilometers and carry around 2 billion cubic feet (57 million cubic meters). The blasts temporarily took out around a sixth of Iran’s daily natural gas production, causing local outages.
While Iran has said the damage was minor and the repairs were finished by Wednesday evening, the strikes were a “stark warning” of the kind of damage Israel could inflict, one of the NYT’s sources said. Given the vast distances and varied terrain the pipelines run, and the regular Iranian patrols, inside knowledge of the system would have been needed to carry out the sabotage, an Iranian official told the paper.
Recent strikes by Israel and the US have killed Iranian commanders in Syria and hit ‘Axis of Resistance’ targets in Iraq and Syria. The Axis of Resistance – composed of Hezbollah, Hamas, and Yemen’s Houthis – is an unofficial coalition that opposes US and Israeli influence in the Middle East.
While Iran supports the Axis of Resistance, they have categorically denied any involvement with the events of October 7 – when Hamas attacked Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking another 240 hostage.
Iran’s Navy Commander, Rear Admiral Shahram Irani, announced plans to establish a military presence in Antarctica and claimed the country’s rightful possession of the continent in a provocative statement that has caused instability around the globe. The statement during a television show sparked discussions over treaty violations, territorial claims, and its implications for international security. Irani stated that they have property rights in the South Pole, intending to fly their flag there and conduct military and scientific research, defying the Antarctic Treaty of 1959.
As per the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Irani’s remarks shocked people worldwide. Twelve initial consultative nations, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, and others, signed the Antarctic Treaty, which states that Antarctica can only be used for peaceful and scientific purposes. Iran’s strong claim raises questions about the possible militarisation of the area in addition to contradicting this fundamental accord.
In response to Iran’s bold claim, the United States responded swiftly. A U.S. State Department spokesman firmly denied such plans. When asked whether Tehran would use unfrozen funds to build an Antarctic station. The representative replied, “No,” underlining that Iranian funds kept in Qatar may only be used for humanitarian needs, such as buying food, medicine, and agricultural goods.
