A missile strike on an industrial zone in central Isfahan killed at least 15 workers at a factory manufacturing heating and cooling equipment (heaters and refrigerators), according to Iran's semi-official Fars news agency, confirmed by Al Jazeera and multiple regional outlets. The attack occurred around 6:00–6:30 a.m. local time (02:30 UTC), when workers on the early shift had begun their day inside the facility. Iran's Health Ministry confirmed 15 deaths and approximately 20 injuries; some victims were trapped under collapsed roof sections and required emergency extraction by first responders. The factory was located in the Sepahan Shahr industrial district of Isfahan. Israel and the United States did not immediately claim responsibility. The strike underscored an intensifying pattern targeting Iran's industrial and economic infrastructure. Isfahan Province has now accumulated the highest share of total military strikes in the conflict at 23%, according to HRANA.
