Iran Accuses Israel of Sabotage in Gas Pipeline Explosions

Iran's oil minister alleges Israeli sabotage behind recent gas pipeline explosions, escalating tensions amid ongoing conflicts.

Iran's Oil Minister Javad Owji claims Israel orchestrated explosions on key gas pipelines last week, disrupting supplies in several provinces.
The attacks on February 14 targeted Iran's main south-north gas pipeline network, with no casualties reported but significant supply disruptions.
Israel has not acknowledged the attacks, maintaining its usual silence on espionage missions abroad.
The incidents further strain relations between Iran and Israel, already tense due to the war on Gaza and attacks involving Iran-aligned groups.
Iran's accusations come amid concerns over its nuclear program and regional arming of groups like Hezbollah and the Houthis.
