Iran's 10 Point Counter Ceasefire Demands

- Israel struck Iran's second largest petrochemical facility at South Pars, a critical energy hub accounting for around half of Tehran's petrochemical output.
- South Pars is part of a 9,700 sq km gas field shared with Qatar and supplies about 80% of Iran's domestic natural gas.
Iranian Strike Kills Civilians In Haifa
