The agency also noted that during the 40-day war, Iran struck the world’s largest gas processing facility in Qatar after its South Pars gas field came under attack.
The report comes amid growing expectations of possible Iranian retaliation against regional energy infrastructure if the US launches another round of attacks on Iran.
Tensions have risen after US President Donald Trump threatened additional strikes, while Israeli media reported Saturday that Israel’s defence establishment was preparing for the possibility of a major American attack on Iran.
The publication follows diplomatic contacts by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who held separate phone conversations Saturday with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Saudi counterpart Faisal bin Farhan and Pakistan’s Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir.
During those contacts, Araghchi warned that any new US or Israeli attack on Iran, or participation by regional countries, would draw a “decisive and proportionate” response from Iran’s armed forces.
