On April 7, the Tasnim agency reported that Iran attacked a petrochemical complex in Al-Jubail, where an intense fire broke out following the strike. This facility produces about 60 million tons of petrochemical products annually, accounting for approximately 6-8% of the total global volume.

Tasnim also published a video featuring footage of a large fire that erupted after the missile strike.

Earlier, on April 6, Iranian attacks targeted facilities in the United Arab Emirates. In Abu Dhabi, one person was injured as a result of debris from a downed projectile, according to local authorities.

In Fujairah, an Iranian drone attacked a telecommunications company building; however, no casualties were reported. The UAE Ministry of Defense stated that on April 6, 12 ballistic missiles, two cruise missiles, and 19 drones were intercepted, resulting in four injuries.

Additionally, a representative of the Iranian Central Military Command "Khatam al-Anbia," Ebrahim Zolfaghari, stated that facilities in Israel and airbases in Kuwait were also attacked.

He noted that the strikes targeted strategic centers in Haifa, chemical plants in Be'er Sheva, and military formations in Petah Tikva, as well as sites in the north and south of Tel Aviv.

According to Iranian claims, two airbases in Kuwait were attacked: "Ali al-Salem" and "Al-Adiri," where aircraft and facilities for American servicemen were damaged.

The U.S. and Israel also responded with strikes on petrochemical facilities in Iran. According to Fars, a series of explosions occurred near a refinery in the industrial area of Assaluyeh, which is the center of the country's gas industry.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz reported that this plant supplies about half of Iran's total petrochemical production.
