"Israel's targeting of facilities linked to Iran's South Pars gas field is a dangerous and irresponsible step amid the current military escalation in the region," the spokesperson added.

"Targeting energy infrastructure constitutes a threat to global energy security, to the people of the region, and to its environment."
