Araghchi: Israeli strike on South Pars expands conflict zone

The Israeli attack on facilities involved in the development of Iran's South Pars gas field in the Persian Gulf indicates an expansion of the conflict zone and may drag other countries in the region into it, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said, according to Report.

"The strike on South Pars is a strategic mistake that signifies the conflict is extending beyond Iran’s borders," he said during a meeting with foreign ambassadors in Tehran. "These actions may drag not only the entire region but also the world into war," he said on the state television of the Islamic Republic.

Earlier it was reported that the production of 12 million cubic meters of gas per day at phase 14 of the South Pars field in Iran was suspended following the Israeli strike.
