As Israel and Iran attack each other with missiles, Israel is especially targeting Iran's vital energy infrastructure, including key oil and gas facilities. That could have a major impact on Iran's economy.

The escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, with both sides firing missiles and drones at each other, has unsettled global energy markets. 

Israeli attacks on Saturday targeted Iran's energy infrastructure, including vital oil storage sites, refineries and power stations.

Among the locations targeted was the massive South Pars gas field, which is part of the world's largest reservoir of natural gas. It's located off Iran's southern Bushehr province and is the source of most of the gas produced in Iran.

Iran shares control over the South Pars gas field with neighboring Qatar, which calls the reservoir under its control North Dome.

The attack, which forced Tehran to partially suspend production at the field, raised the prospect that a widening conflict would threaten Iran's energy production and supply.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has slammed Israel for targeting South Pars, saying it was an attempt "to expand the war beyond" Iran.

"Dragging the conflict into the Persian Gulf region is a major strategic mistake, likely deliberate and intended to extend the war beyond Iranian territory," the news agency AFP quoted Araghchi as saying during a meeting with foreign diplomats.
