Iran's Revolutionary Guard has claimed responsibility for targeting an oil refinery in Haifa as retaliation for Israel's attack on a refinery in Tehran.
Analysis
The claim that Iran's Revolutionary Guard has claimed responsibility for targeting an oil refinery in Haifa as retaliation for Israel's attack on a refinery in Tehran is supported by a majority of the available sources, despite all being non-trusted and lacking independent verification. Multiple reports and social media posts indicate that the IRGC explicitly stated their missile strikes on the Haifa oil refinery were in direct response to Israeli strikes on Tehran’s oil facilities. While no major trusted international news outlets or official government statements are cited here, the consistency across various reports, including videos and statements attributed to the IRGC, lends credibility to the claim. There is no significant contradictory evidence denying the IRGC’s claim of responsibility, only general condemnations from Iranian-backed militias without claims of attacks. Given the convergence of these sources, the claim is best assessed as true, though with caution due to the lack of fully trusted sources.
