Golden Finance reports that on April 7, local time, in the early hours of April 7, Iran cited unnamed sources saying that an explosion occurred that day in the Jubail Industrial Area in northeastern Saudi Arabia, where U.S. capital is involved, and that it was the result of large-scale strikes. The report says the Jubail Industrial Area is one of the world’s important petrochemical production bases, with an annual output of about 60 million tons of petrochemical products, accounting for 6% to 8% of global total production. Many major petrochemical companies and projects are concentrated within the area. Among them, Saudi Basic Industries Corporation is one of the primary investors in the industrial zone. In addition, the Sadara project involving U.S. chemical company Dow Chemical, as well as projects jointly invested in by Saudi Aramco and French energy company TotalEnergies, are also located within the industrial zone.
