The group said the Iranian attack resulted in the deaths of three of the company's employees.
The refinery is located in Haifa Bay, according to Israeli media.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tonight of attacking his country with the intention of sabotaging Iran-US nuclear negotiations, CNN reports.
"The purpose of Netanyahu's criminal attack on Iran - the killing of hundreds of innocent civilians including women and children - is to sink Iran's deal with the US," Abbas said via X, assessing that the two countries were "on the right track" to reach an agreement.
Araqchi, however, added that if US President Donald Trump is "truly committed to diplomacy and interested in stopping this war, the next steps should be consequential."
"It takes one phone call from Washington to muzzle someone like Netanyahu. That could pave the way for a return to diplomacy," Araqchi said.

Iran's strikes on Israel are self-defense and represent "proportionate defensive operations aimed exclusively at military targets and related infrastructure," Iran's ambassador to the United Nations (UN), Amir Saeed Iravani, told the UN Security Council today.
He wrote in the letter that any cooperation by third countries with Israeli strikes on Iran "makes them complicit in the legal responsibility and consequences of this crisis."
According to Article 51 of the UN Charter, the 15-member Security Council must be immediately informed of any action taken by states in self-defense against armed attack.
The building of the Iranian State Radio and Television (IRIB) was hit today in an Israeli strike, interrupting a live broadcast that was in progress.
Earlier, Israeli Minister Israel Katz said that Iran's state-run Radio and Television (IRIB), which he called a mouthpiece for Iranian propaganda and incitement, was "on the road to extinction," speaking after the military called on citizens to evacuate the area where the institution is headquartered in northeast Tehran.
The attack took place as the presenter was making a scathing criticism of Israel. She was seen leaving the venue, according to an Iranian media outlet that released a video of the incident.
The television station resumed live broadcasts after a brief interruption caused by the impact on the building, a service official said.
"The Zionist regime, the enemy of the Iranian people, carried out a military operation a few minutes ago on the information network of the Islamic Republic of Iran," said Hassan Abedini, adding that "the Israeli regime does not know that the voice of the Islamic revolution cannot be silenced by a military operation."
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz also spoke out after the strike, saying that Israel would strike "the Iranian dictator wherever he is," alluding to the centers of power of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
"The Iranian regime's propaganda and incitement department was attacked after a mass evacuation of residents from the area. We will strike the Iranian dictator everywhere," Katz said.
The Iranian television that was targeted today is a body that directly depends on Khamenei's office.
The Israeli military had previously warned residents of a zone in a neighborhood in northeastern Tehran to evacuate, announcing strikes on "military infrastructure belonging to the Iranian regime."
"In the coming hours, Israeli military forces will operate in that sector... to target military infrastructure belonging to the Iranian regime. Citizens of Tehran, for your safety, evacuate the third arrondissement zone," wrote Colonel Avishai Adrae, an Israeli military spokesman, in a message on Telegram in Persian, alongside a map showing the zone to be evacuated.
The warning affected about 330.000 people in parts of central Tehran, which are home to state television and the police headquarters, as well as three major hospitals, including one owned by the Revolutionary Guards, the AP reported.
The neighborhood is also home to the embassies of Qatar, Oman, and Kuwait, the office of the International Organization for Migration, and the Agence France-Presse office.
The warning was issued on the fourth day of the conflict, when the Israeli military claimed to have achieved air superiority over the Iranian capital, and could fly over it without major danger.
The Israeli military issued similar warnings to evacuate civilians in parts of Gaza and Lebanon before carrying out the attacks.
Israeli military spokesman Gen. Efi Defrin said earlier that they could say they had achieved full air superiority in the skies over Tehran. The military said it had destroyed more than 120 surface-to-surface missile launchers in central Iran, reportedly a third of the total.
Israeli military officials also said fighter jets hit ten command centers in Tehran belonging to the Quds Force, an elite branch of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps that conducts military and intelligence operations outside Iran.
The Israeli attacks represent a deep and comprehensive blow to the Iranian threat, Defrin said.
Iran announced it had launched 100 missiles and vowed further retaliation for attacks on its military and nuclear infrastructure that have killed at least 224 people in the country since Friday. In Israel, 24 people have been killed and more than 500 injured, according to Israeli officials.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that the air force targeted "a communications center that the Iranian armed forces were using for military purposes," the BBC reported.
It further states that the building was used "under the guise of civilian activities" and that the attack "directly harmed the military capabilities of the Iranian armed forces."
"Prior to the attack, the IDF provided effective warning to the civilian population, including through telephone calls, and carried out the attack in a precise manner to mitigate civilian harm as much as possible," the IDF said.
The moment when the attack on Iranian state television occurred:

Electronic jamming of commercial ship navigation systems has increased significantly in recent days in the Strait of Hormuz and the wider Persian Gulf, affecting vessels passing through the region, the Navy said on Monday.
Iranian missiles hit major Israeli cities on Monday, as Israel's prime minister said his country was on track to eliminate "threats" from Iran's nuclear and missile facilities, and the civilian death toll on both sides rose after four days of fighting.
Tehran has previously threatened to close the key Strait of Hormuz in response to Western pressure. Any closure of the strait could restrict trade and affect global oil prices.
"JMIC continues to receive reports of electronic jamming coming from the vicinity of the port of Bandar Abbas (in Iran), in the Strait of Hormuz and several other areas in the Persian Gulf," said a statement from the JMIC information center, which is part of the US-led multinational maritime force.
"These disruptions, which continue to intensify across the region, are having a significant impact within the Gulf itself. The disruptions affect the ability of vessels to accurately transmit position data via Automatic Identification System (AIS), posing operational and navigational challenges for maritime traffic," Reuters reported.
Every ocean-going ship has numerous onboard navigation systems, including AIS – a public ship tracking system widely used in international trade.
The warning follows an earlier announcement by the UK Maritime Safety Agency (UKMTO) on Monday, which also noted an increase in navigational interference in the Gulf and Strait of Hormuz, although no party was identified as the source of the interference.
Greek authorities last week called on its merchant fleet to record all sailings through the strait. Greek shipowners are among the world's largest tanker operators.
"The threat level in the region remains significant, as strikes from Iran and Israel continue. The maritime threat level remains elevated," the JMIC statement concluded.
Israel has attacked a military base in western Tehran, triggering the activation of air defense systems, Iran's Fars news agency reported, as reported by Reuters.
Thousands of residents of the Iranian capital Tehran are fleeing their homes and stockpiling basic supplies for fear that Israel's airstrike campaign against Iran will escalate in the coming days, Reuters reports.
The Israeli military has warned Iranian civilians in a series of messages to leave some areas for their own safety, raising the possibility of an increasing number of airstrikes.
Iranian authorities have dismissed the messages as "psychological warfare" and urged the population not to panic, although state television has broadcast footage of traffic jams on roads leading out of the capital.
"We have nowhere to go. Where to go? How long should we stay away from our homes?" Shahriyar, 38, said by phone from Tehran, a city of over ten million people, Reuters reports.
Art teacher Arshiya, 29, told Reuters his family was going to the city of Damavand, about 50 kilometers east of Tehran, until the conflict ended.
"My parents are scared. There are attacks every night, there are no air raid sirens, no shelters we can go to. Why are we paying the price for the hostile policies of the Islamic Republic?" said Arshiya, who did not reveal his last name for fear of government reprisals.
The attacks have spread a sense of fear across the Islamic Republic, exposing critical shortcomings in security measures, particularly the lack of adequate bomb shelters.
Despite building several underground missile "cities," Iran has no public bomb shelters. However, the government announced on Sunday that mosques, schools and the metro would be open 24/7 to serve as shelters during Israeli attacks.
"There were no sirens, there were no shelters we could go to. Now it's even worse, we can't withdraw cash from ATMs, from banks," said Gholamreza Mohammadi, 48, a civil servant in Tehran.
"It's so difficult to rent a place outside Tehran... also food prices are rising every day, as vendors are raising the prices of goods," he said.
He continued: "I'm desperate. My two children are scared and can't sleep at night because of the sound of air defenses and attacks, explosions. But we have nowhere to go. We hid under the dining room table."
The death toll in Iran has reached at least 224, with civilians accounting for 90 percent of the casualties, an Iranian official said. In Israel, 24 people have been killed in Iranian missile strikes, all of them civilians.
NetBlocks, an independent agency that monitors internet traffic, reported a nearly 50 percent drop in international internet access for Iranians, confirming user reports of internet outages since Israel launched airstrikes on Friday.
Security forces have issued warnings against any contact with Israel, according to state media, while dozens of people have been arrested for allegedly "spying for Israel or inciting public opinion by spreading lies".
