Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, an Israeli official has revealed that targeting Iran’s oil and gas infrastructure is now \"on the table\" in response to recent missile strikes by Tehran that reportedly resulted in civilian casualties.

In a statement made to Iran International, the official emphasized that Israel is weighing all strategic options following Iran’s latest missile barrage, which Tel Aviv claims inflicted damage on residential areas and caused non-military casualties.

 “Iran crossed a red line. Civilian lives were lost. Our response will be precise, and no facility enabling Tehran’s aggression is off-limits,” the source stated.

This marks a potential turning point in the ongoing shadow conflict between the two nations, with energy infrastructure—vital to Iran’s economy—now being considered a legitimate military target.

Analysts say a strike on oil and gas sites could severely destabilize global energy markets and provoke a far-reaching conflict in the region, dragging in proxy forces and international actors.

The revelation comes just hours after Iran launched a retaliatory missile offensive, escalating the tit-for-tat pattern of attacks that has left the region on high alert.
