Iran’s semi-official Mehr news agency is reporting that there were no casualties following two Israeli strikes on the Karun petrochemical plant in Mahshahr, according to Al Jazeera.

It said the extent of the damage is still being assessed.

The Mahshahr Port Governorship has said it will decrease the number of office staff by 30 per cent.

“Employees will be present in all city-level offices at 30 per cent capacity starting today, and citizens should consider this issue in their inquiries,” Mehr news agency reported.

It added that emergency services and electricity, water, and gas relief centres would be exempt from this directive.
