Two Iranian energy sites were reportedly struck by airstrikes, according to a semiofficial news agency close to Iran's Revolutionary Guard. The timing of these reports raises questions about President Trump's recent deadline extension for Iran to cease its actions at the Strait of Hormuz.

The Fars news agency claimed the strikes impacted natural gas infrastructure in Isfahan and a gas pipeline linked to the Khorramshahr power plant. Despite this, neither the US nor Israel has taken responsibility for the strikes, which were not acknowledged by either nation on Monday.

As of now, it's unclear whether these specific sites were deliberately targeted or if they sustained damage due to strikes on other locations nearby.
