STORY: Smoke and fire near Iran's South Pars gas field in Bushehr Province were seen in footage captured by an eyewitness on Wednesday (March 18) following an Israeli airstrike.

Reuters confirmed the location from the road layout, lighthouse, electric pylons, and ship model. Reuters could not confirm the date of footage, however Iran's Fars news agency reported that gas tanks and parts of a refinery had been hit and state media later said the fire there was under control.

No older versions of the video were found before March 18. Coordinates of the structures under fire was seen from 27.525170402738087, 52.572015374827416. NASA FIRMS detected thermal activity in the vicinity on March 18. Iranian gas flows to Iraq were halted on March 18 following an attack on Iran's Pars gas field, a senior Iraqi official told Reuters.

U.S. President Donald Trump said an angry Israel "violently lashed out" and attacked the major gas field, but ruled out further such attacks by Israel unless Iran retaliated.

Wednesday's attack drove oil prices higher and prompted a threat by Iran to attack oil and gas targets across the Gulf, while it fired missiles at Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
