Israel struck two Iranian natural gas facilities on Friday, marking the first Israeli attack on Tehran's oil and natural gas industry, according to reports in Iran and the United States. Iran's Oil Ministry confirmed the attack on the plant in the gas field, part of the world's largest pure natural gas reserve. The field, discovered in 1971, has 51 trillion cubic meters of onsite natural gas and 50 billion barrels of natural gas condensates in an area of 9,700 square kilometers (3,700 square miles), of which 3,700 square kilometers are in Iranian waters, and 6,000 in Qatar's economic waters.
