The Israeli military destroyed seventy Percent of Iran’s steel and iron industry, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed on Friday, describing the damage as a major blow to the economic resources of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its weapons production capacity.

In a brief statement, Netanyahu said the Iranian regime “is weaker than ever, and we will continue to crush it in coordination with the United States,” pledging to continue operations targeting Iran, including “killing its leaders, blowing up bridges, and destroying infrastructure.”

On March 27, Israeli aircraft targeted two of the largest steel plants in the Ahvaz region, operated by Khuzestan Steel Company and Mobarakeh Steel Company. In response, Tehran threatened to strike six steel plants in Israel and targets across five regional countries in retaliation for attacks on facilities in Ahvaz.
