JERUSALEM/TEHRAN, March 18 (Xinhua) -- The Israeli air force has struck Iran's major natural gas facility, located in Bushehr in the south of the country, several Israeli media reported Wednesday.

Israel's state-owned Kan TV News reported that the strike was carried out in coordination with the U.S. administration.

It added that the Israeli air force also struck an energy facility in the southern Iranian city of Asaluyeh, and that it was preparing to attack other national infrastructure in Iran.

Israel's Channel 12 News quoted a senior Israeli official as saying that only part of the facility was struck as a "message" to Iran, and that "if the enemy does not understand this message, the strikes may expand."

Following the strike, Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps issued an evacuation warning for several oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, the semi-official Mehr news agency reported.
