Iran strikes Israeli chemical complex linked to white phosphorus production

The Islamic Republic has escalated its retaliatory drone and missile operations against Israel in the last few days


An Iranian ballistic missile made direct impact at the ICL Rotem chemical complex in the Negev on 25 March, causing a large blast and the outbreak of a fire near the site.


The facility is located in the Rotem Industrial Zone near Dimona, and houses infrastructure belonging to several industrial and technology companies, including ICL Rotem, which supplies white phosphorous to the US military, according to research compiled by Resistance News Network (RNN).

A massive fire has broken out at the ICL Rotem chemical complex in the Negev (occupied Al-Naqab) following Iran's missile strike on the area earlier today.

Footage of the missile impact site was geolocated to the facility. Damage to a structure was reported.

“The phosphate extracted from the Rotem site is exported to several ICL facilities in the United States. Most dangerously, ICL is the sole supplier of white phosphorus to the US military, internationally-banned munitions used by the occupation army in Gaza and Lebanon to burn homes, bodies, and agricultural lands,” RNN reported, adding that the “only source of uranium in occupied Palestine is the Dead Sea phosphate ICL has exclusive rights to.”

ICL Group is the largest chemicals company in Israel. It was owned by the Israeli government until the 1990s, and holds exclusive rights to extract Palestinian resources from the Dead Sea until 2030, as the sea’s water levels continue to decline at an alarming pace.

The phosphate extracted at Rotem is exported to several ICL-linked facilities abroad, including in the US. It is a supplier of white phosphorus – used by Israeli forces against civilians in Lebanon and Gaza – to the US military, according to RNN’s research.

The attack comes as part of a recent string of major retaliatory missile operations by the Islamic Republic.

Earlier on Wednesday, an Iranian missile struck the vicinity of the Orot Rabin Power Plant in Hadera.

An Iranian missile made impact in the northern city of Safad on Tuesday evening, with Al Jazeera reporting heavy Israeli military censorship over the incident. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it hit satellite sites linked to the Israeli army.

Tehran has escalated its massive and unprecedented campaign of retaliatory strikes on Israel and US military assets across the region. It has also closed the Strait of Hormuz to Washington and its allies and has targeted vessels attempting to cross in violation of its warnings.

US military bases in Bahrain, Iraq, and elsewhere in the region have been battered by Iranian drones and missiles.

JUST IN: At Least 1,281 Killed in Israel, Tasnim Finds
March, 22, 2026 - 21:29

TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The Hebrew website of Tasnim News Agency has concluded that the number of casualties in the occupied territories has surpassed 1,280 people.
The Hebrew group of Tasnim has examined data related to the following Israeli cemeteries:

[b](1) Har HaMenuchot Cemetery in Jerusalem

2) Yarkon Cemetery in Petah Tikva

3) Holon Cemetery in Holon

4) Segula Cemetery in Petah Tikva

5) Kiryat Shaul Cemetery in Tel Aviv

6) Har HaZeitim Cemetery in Jerusalem

7) Haifa Cemetery in Haifa

8 ) Nahalat Yitzhak Cemetery in Givatayim

9) Rehovot Cemetery in Rehovot

10) Ashdod Cemetery in Ashdod

Tasnim has also taken a look at the casualties in the Chevra Kadisha organizations in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem (occupied al-Quds), Haifa, Petah Tikva, and Rishon LeZion, as well as data related to the movements of ZAKA (Zihuy Korbanot Ason) or “Disaster Victim Identification” teams, reaching the conclusion that the number of casualties in the recent war in Israel is at least 1,281.

Chevra Kadisha are the responsible organizations for burial affairs in Israel.

Based on the findings of the Hebrew website of Tasnim, an analysis of data related to the database of cemeteries in Israel indicates that the average number of deaths in the occupied territories is about 150 people on ordinary days. However, an additional daily average of 61 people has been added over the past 21 days, bringing the average number of those buried during these days to at least 211 per day.

Therefore, if the minimum casualties is estimated at an average of 61 people per day, a total of 1,281 fatalities can be projected over a period of 21 days.

The statistics related to the movements of ZAKA rescue teams also report 703 cases. Considering that ZAKA, unlike regular emergency services that use ambulances to transport the injured, is specifically for the deceased, this level of movement further substantiates the figure of 1,281 rather than what official Israeli accounts claim.

ZAKA teams are part of a volunteer rescue organization in the Zionist regime that operate at scenes of death and severe incidents, not in transporting the injured.

In this analysis, the statistics related to the casualties in Arad and Dimona that occurred yesterday have not yet been taken into account.

Iranian missiles are just flying from every angle, they poked the bear

Iran making the world proud!

Installing Christmas light across multiple locations in Israel!

History will never forget how Iran whooped the US and Israel at the same time!

I am certain future generations will be puzzled how a supposed underdog humbled powers, but history will also let them know that, we were more puzzled and amazed. It came to all as a surprise seeing the US and Israel being whooped from ends to ends.

Honestly , seems they're paid for that. Because me I don't understand again. 😂😂

Though I hate religion with passion, but I'm in support of Iran in this matter. Iran didn't throw bomb into your country at first, you started it. Then you called for peace, they accepted and during ceasefire you shot at their leader and killed him and many other innocent people. Then you want me to support you? Never!!!

Even though I must have practised Judeo-christianity in the past by reading and believing both the old and new testament, that wouldn't let me see nonsense and support it blindly like I did when I was a Christian. Imagine when David cut 200 peenis of the Philistines, it didn't sound awkward and evil to me while I was a Christian. When Jael slammed nail into a man's temple(head) and killed him, it didn't sound or look evil to me. How about when Samuel killed the king of another land in anger. How about when the Israelites killed infants and animals of other lands and married their wives? They all looked normal to me. Then I broke free from religion. Therefore I won't tolerate rubbish.

If Muslim terrorists are also the first to throw bomb at any nation, I will go against them. You can't hate an entire nation because of some terrorists in there. Just same way I can't hate the north because of some terrorists there. But I will hate terrorists from any part of the world.

Israeli terrorists, USA terrorists, Iran terrorists, Nigeria terrorists are all evil and I will forever hate them. But I won't hate the countries where they come from. So people should stop hating Iran as a whole, rather, hate their terrorists.

Again in this ongoing war, I will not support USA. They are clearly a big bully.

I thought Donald Trump said that he has obliterated all the Iran military capabilities is it the ghost of the late supreme leader that is striking now

impact at the ICL Rotem chemical complex in the Negev on 25 March, causing a large blast and the outbreak of a fire near the site.

And the op thinks Iran is doing well in this war o. Iran is like a rogue nation now without any known leader. Very soon they will crumble under Israeli response.

first answer wetin u dey gain crying over wetin no concern u here lol....so una wan dey post one side of the war, Israel and American part and when someone post the Iran part, e dey vex una...
Na the same nonsense America dey do , thinking they have the right to do anything they like but it's a problem when others do🤧

Iran was underrated, pleased Iran fuel has cost in Nigeria, please let us settle this amicably, you are the one fighting with bully, we are the one suffering, my transport costs as increased by #1000, IRAN OOO biko.

Why is Israel not just throwing everything at Iran? Why the selective and precision bombings? Iran doesn't care about anybody they just fire, while Israel is busy warning people to leave and carrying out limited strikes. Why start a war when you are hesitant?

Shut da fvck, Mr. Smelling buccal cavity

Iran really mean Israel oooo.....they want to negotiate in a strong position this time around.

One thing i like about Isreali and their followers when ever they get hit badly nobody will be shouthing Free Isreal


But



If Isreal strike Iran or Palestinian, their members will start crying raising curse on Isreal and America.


In war, there must be casualty.

Never start a fight with your strong but quiet neighbour.

You guys are not getting what's at play here

Israel is letting the whole world see what Iran's act and their strike pattern so that when Israel will retaliate no one will blame them

Beautiful.


Israel have been using that complex to make bombs they use in Gaza for many years now.
They're currently also using it in Lebanon.

May God bless Iran for us.
Iran is really making us proud.
What a time to be alive to see evil terrorists getting bloodied and beaten well.


Iran should make sure that all energy infrastructures and nuclear sites are put into consideration. This is the only thing I'm waiting for.

God bless Iran.

Un righteousness righteousness2 botragerad come and dance to this news

I stand with Iran. This is a cautionary tale for Israel and US. Never go near Iran again

I AM SHA HAPPY. . KOBAM!!!!!!!!!

That's what makes him happy and keeps him safe from HBP. Don't take that away from him.
isn't it delusional that any reasonable human thinks Iran can face United States and Israel.
I know Israel very well, they are still taking out Military heads and installations. Soon they will target something else, and we begin to hear 'Justice for Iran'

Small yanch dey shake until hand go touch am. Israel will do the needful and it will be too late for peace talk. All terrorist's must be brought down. Iran Boko Haran bandit are all the same send them to there creator.

When Iran's random untargeted missile manages to land close to any notable infrastructure their supporters here Jubilate.
But nearly does not kill a bird.

While they condemn Israel and US for mistakenly hitting a school, they jubilate when Iran's missile hit an empty daycare. Does anyone understand the reasoning of these people?

Trump shot down Netanyahu’s proposal to jointly call for an Iranian uprising — report
By Nava Freiberg

US President Donald Trump rejected a proposal last week by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to jointly call on the Iranian public to take to the streets and topple the regime during the war against Iran, senior American officials and an Israeli source familiar with the details tell Channel 12 news.

The discussion reportedly took place last Tuesday, following Israel’s assassinations of top Iranian officials Ali Larijani, former secretary of Iran’s National Security Council, and Gholamreza Soleimani, former head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Basij Force.

Netanyahu told Trump over the phone that the Iranian regime “was in a state of chaos,” according to the report, arguing that this was the time to further destabilize it by issuing the joint call.

Trump, however, expressed concern that such a call could lead to mass bloodshed as the IRGC would likely suppress the protesters, two American officials tell Channel 12.

The two leaders instead agreed to reassess developments the following day, when Iranians celebrated the Persian Fire Festival, a holiday often marked by large public gatherings. They decided that if significant protests emerged, they would proceed with the joint call, but in the end, no mass demonstrations materialized.

All dis Iran sympathiser spend 24hrs on d internet looking for news to console themselves that Iran is winning the war whereas they know d truth that Iran has bn battered.americans and Israelis are living a normal life whereas d Iranians aren't.do u know that football league in Israel and America is still ongoing, just yesterday matches were played in Israel and stadium were filled to capacity, that's what normal life looks like.trump is just bn conscious cos of d economy and that's d only tin Iran is capitalising on that's why d oiling producing nations in d gulf region are bn attacked.u are celebrating that Iran threw missiles at d Abraham Lincoln warship whereas us navy shows at least

An analyst just confirmed that Israel is actually letting all these news leak into the media so that they won't blame Israel if they retaliate...
