Airwars Assessment

Last Updated: June 18, 2026

(Previous Incident Code: ISIR260401c )

Around noon on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, at least three alleged Israeli and/or US airstrikes hit the Sefid Dasht Steel Complex in Borujen, in the Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province of Iran, reportedly injuring up to two employees.

Reports of civilian harm resulting from the incident varied. According to the Head of the Borujen Fire Department, the attack on the plant resulted in two injuries, and by 10 a.m. the next day, the fire was extinguished. However, Borna News reported that “at Sefid Dasht Steel, fortunately, none of the employees were injured and all are in good health.”

Sources also differed on the time at which the strikes took place. While @Qandil Press alleged on Twitter/X  that the plant was hit by three strikes at around 12:09 p.m. on Wednesday, April 1, Vahid Online claimed on Telegram that the strikes happened at 11:09 p.m. on Tuesday, March 31. According to this source, the Red Crescent and the fire department were not allowed to enter the factory until 12:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Both Qandil Press and Vahid Online shared a video showing fires raging in the darkness.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to the Israeli and US military.

Announcement No. 4 of Mobarakeh Steel Mobarakeh Steel Group’s Communications Department announced in Statement No. 4 that the American–Zionist enemy launched another heavy attack on the Mobarakeh Steel Complex at around 23:00 last night (Tuesday, Farvardin 11), targeting several نقاط of the facility. According to the statement, technical and safety teams were present at the site from the first moments after the attack and brought the situation under control. The statement continues: due to the timing of the attack and the conditions it created, there is still no precise information on the extent of the damage. However, preliminary assessments indicate the شدت of the attacks, significant damage, and fundamental destruction to units مرتبط with the production process. The Communications Department also reported that the enemy simultaneously attacked another steelmaking company of the group—Sefid Dasht Steel of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province—where production units also sustained damage. In another part of the statement, it is noted that, given prior precautionary measures and the conditions following the first attack on the Mobarakeh Steel Complex, the number of personnel on site had been reduced to a minimum. A limited number of employees who were referred to medical centers were treated as outpatients and discharged. At Sefid Dasht Steel, fortunately, none of the کارکنان were injured and all are in good health. The statement also recalls that during the first attack, parts of the energy infrastructure—including the 914-megawatt combined-cycle power plant, the older 250-megawatt power plant of Mobarakeh Steel, and sections of the production areas—were seriously targeted and sustained major damage.

War-related damage to industrial facilities and logistics networks directly interrupts production and delays procurement across downstream sectors. The impact on the automotive supply chain, particularly linked to the Sefiddasht facility, a subsidiary of Mobarakeh, further weakens demand for flat steel products used in vehicles, machinery, and manufacturing.

The enemy first attacked the Mobarakeh Steel Plant in Isfahan and the Khuzestan Steel Plant on April 27 and then on April 11, which led to the cessation of these centers’ activities. The Axin Steel Plant in Ahvaz and the Sefidasht Farkhunde Steel Complex in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari were also targeted. Initial estimates indicate that the reconstruction and return of Mobarakeh Steel Plant in Isfahan to production will take between two and three years. Khuzestan Steel Plant will also need six months to a year to be reconstructed. Iran is the world’s tenth largest steel producer, with an estimated annual crude steel production of 31.8 million tons in 2025.

دشمن ابتدا هفتم فروردین و سپس یازدهم فروردین به کارخانه‌های فولاد مبارکه اصفهان و فولاد خوزستان حمله کرد که به توقف فعالیت این مراکز انجامید. فولاد اکسین اهواز و مجتمع فولاد سفیددشت فرخنده شهر چهارمحال و بختیاری نیز هدف قرار گرفت. برآورد اولیه حاکی از آن است که بازسازی و ورود فولاد مبارکه اصفهان به مدار تولید بین دو تا سه سال زمان می‌برد. فولاد خوزستان نیز شش ماه تا یک سال فرصت نیاز دارد تا بازسازی شود.ایران دهمین تولیدکننده بزرگ فولاد جهان است که در سال ۲۰۲۵ تولید سالانه فولاد خام ایران حدود ۳۱.۸ میلیون تن برآورد شده است.
