Major petrochemical zone in Iran evacuates amid US strikes threat
All personnel have been evacuated from every active industrial unit in the Mahshahr Petrochemical Special Economic Zone in southwest Iran, authorities said.
The zone’s public relations office said the evacuation was ordered by the region’s emergency command committee.
The move comes as US President Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Iranian energy infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, on Tuesday night if no agreement is reached over reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
