US-Israeli strikes hit Isfahan pharmaceutical companies and Farokhshar steel plants — D33
·Isfahan and Farokhshar, Iran
US-Israeli strikes continued across Iran on Day 33, hitting pharmaceutical companies in Isfahan and steel plants in Farokhshar, Al Jazeera reported. The strikes mark a shift toward dual-use industrial and pharmaceutical targets — industries that can support military supply chains.
US-Israeli strikes on Day 33 (April 1) hit pharmaceutical companies in Isfahan and steel plants in Farokhshar, a steel-industry town west of Isfahan, Al Jazeera's D33 live blog reported. The strikes represent a continuation of the campaign to degrade Iran's industrial capacity, expanding beyond military and energy sites to dual-use pharmaceutical and steel infrastructure. Isfahan is Iran's second-largest city and a major industrial center; it has been struck multiple times during the war including the D31 munitions depot strike. Farokhshar is a smaller industrial center west of Isfahan known for steel production. The targeting of pharmaceutical companies is consistent with the broader campaign to degrade Iran's ability to sustain military and civilian operations. No casualty figures were immediately available.
