UPDATED 6:04 PM -- Iran Natural Gas Field "Attacked" - Burning
November 11, 2026
AN "AIRSTRIKE" HAS BEEN REPORTED AT IRAN’S SOUTH PARS GAS COMPLEX!
Initial reports indicate that the SPD14D offshore platform in Iran’s South Pars gas field, Bushehr Province, is on fire, with personnel reportedly evacuating the facility.
The fire is suspected to have resulted from a US airstrike, although American involvement has not been independently confirmed.
The extent of the damage, possible casualties, and the operational status of the platform remain unclear. No official confirmation of a US military strike on the facility has been established.
South Pars is one of Iran’s most strategically important energy assets. A confirmed American strike against its infrastructure would represent a significant escalation, potentially expanding the confrontation into Iran’s natural gas production sector and raising concerns about wider disruptions to regional energy supplies.
UPDATE 6:04 PM EST --
"Under investigation is a possible gas leak or operational malfunction," Iran's Deputy Oil Minister says.
A senior Iranian source familiar with the incident separately says "Israel may be behind the fire.
This is currently being assessed in more detail."500 million cubic feet of gas have now been removed from production after the fire. The field holds 1.8 quadrillion cubic feet of gas in its reserves.
