Iran Strikes Israel's Haifa Refinery with Ballistic Missiles in Retaliation; India Link Noted
•Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims to have struck Israel's largest oil refinery in Haifa Bay using Kheibar Shekan ballistic missiles.
•The attack on the Bazan Group refinery, which has links to India, is stated as retaliation for recent US-Israeli attacks on Iran's energy sector, including oil depots near Tehran.
•The Haifa refinery supplies 50-60% of Israel's domestic fuel, and the strike could lead to significant economic and defense losses for Israel.
•This is not the first attack; the refinery was hit in June 2025, resulting in three deaths and a months-long shutdown.
•Iranian President warns of a forceful response to American and Israeli attacks, vowing not to surrender.
