Notes

Multiple news reports from March 2026 indicate that South Pars gas field (associated with Pars Refinery operations) was attacked and targeted during Iran-Israel conflict. News explicitly mentions gas facilities being attacked and damaged, representing major escalation. Even though database showed 'under_construction', the attack reports indicate operational or near-operational infrastructure that is now damaged.
