Major Iranian Steel Plants Crippled by Airstrikes

Two of Iran's largest steel factories have been forced to shut down following airstrikes, the companies operating them confirm. The attacks occurred last week. Iranian authorities state they were first launched by Israel, acting in coordination with the United States. Analysts warn the damage to these key industrial sites could cause significant harm to Iran's economy. The steel sector is a major source of both domestic production and export revenue for the country. The shutdowns highlight the potential for the ongoing regional conflict to directly impact critical infrastructure and economic stability.
