US Strikes Kill at Least 2 in Abadan, Iran's Major Refinery City
💥 ABADAN — US strikes reach Iran's oil refinery city; at least 2 confirmed dead. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Abadan hosts Iran's largest oil refinery — a civilian-adjacent energy asset CENTCOM hadn't publicly struck before. Hitting it expands the target set beyond IRGC military infrastructure into Iran's downstream oil economy. With Kharg Island already struck and Hormuz traffic at 18% of normal, Abadan damage compresses Iran's remaining export and refining capacity toward zero. Europe's Iranian crude exposure and Asian refiners pricing Iranian blend now face a supply variable that doesn't recover quickly.
