Israel Was Behind Attacks on Major Gas Pipelines in Iran
(New York Times) Farnaz Fassihi - Israel carried out covert attacks on two major natural gas pipelines inside Iran last week, disrupting the flow to provinces with millions of people, according to two Western officials. They said the attacks required deep knowledge of Iran's infrastructure and careful coordination, since two pipelines were hit in multiple locations at the same time. One Western official called it a major symbolic strike that was fairly easy for Iran to repair, but sent a stark warning of the damage that Israel could inflict. The Western officials said Israel also caused a separate blast on Thursday inside a chemical factory on the outskirts of Tehran.
