Israel has pounded Tehran with airstrikes as Iranians mark Nowruz, or the Persian New Year. The attacks Friday came a day after Israel pledged to refrain from more strikes on a key Iranian gas field after Iran intensified its attacks on oil and natural gas facilities around the Gulf. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that, at the request of President Donald Trump, Israel will hold off on any further attacks on Iran’s South Pars gas field. In retaliation, Tehran has targeted energy production, further stressing global supplies already under pressure because of Iran’s stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz. That’s a strategic waterway through which a fifth of the world’s oil is transported.
