Devastating war in the Middle East, Iran and Israel will now attack the system, not the people
The most destructive phase of the Arab war has begun, which can turn into a global nuclear crisis at any time. The claim is being made because a devastating war can break out between Iran and Israel at any time. Iran has launched the biggest missile attack on Israel till date, the response to which can be very destructive. Israel's revenge can begin in the next few hours.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has clearly said that Iran will have to pay a heavy price. It is feared that Israel will target Iran's nuclear sites. In such a situation, if Israel targets Iran's nuclear sites, the result can be very devastating, which has not been seen in Russia-Ukraine till now. Iran directly attacked Israel for the second time in 5 months, which included about 200 ballistic missiles.
In the war between Iran and Israel, power plants, air bases and nuclear sites present there can now be targeted. Israel's energy infrastructure has 15 main thermal power plants, of which seven are major.
- Orot Rabin Thermal Power Plant (2,605 MW): It is the largest power plant in Israel.
- Rutenberg Thermal Power Plant (2,290 MW): This plant is also one of the major energy sources of Israel, which was partially damaged in an attack by Hamas in October 2023.
- Eshkol Thermal Power Plant (1,693 MW)
- Hagit CCGT (1,394 MW)
- Gezer CCGT (1,336 MW)
- Ramat Hovav CCGT (1,137 MW)
- Haifa Thermal Power Plant (1,110 MW)
The geographical location of all these power plants is such that they are located within a radius of about 70-80 kilometers. During a major attack, these plants can be targeted, which can disrupt Israel's energy supply.
Israel's major air bases and nuclear sites
Nevatim Air Base: This is Israel's largest and most important air base, from where its F-35 aircraft operate. This airbase is claimed to have been targeted in the Iranian attack on October 1.
Palmachim Air Base: Israel's main air force base, located in the southern region and strategically important for missile defense.
Dimona Nuclear Site: Israel's most secretive and sensitive nuclear site, at the heart of the country's nuclear programme.
Important Power Plants of Iran
- Rudsur Thermal Power Plant
- Kom Thermal Power Plant
- Ofoz Thermal Power Plant
- Shahad Thermal Power Plant
- Zagros Thermal Power Plant
Apart from this, Iran also has the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, which is the centre of its nuclear power production. Iran also has many hydroelectric plants which play an important role in the country's power supply.
Iran's major air bases and nuclear sites
Bushehr Nuclear Plant: This is Iran's main nuclear power plant and could be a major target in case of an attack.
Isfahan Air Base: It is one of the main air bases of Iran and the country's air force operates from here.
Khojir Missile Base: This is Iran's main missile launch site, which is strategically very important.
