The United States and Israel attacked an oil depot in Tehran.

The United States and Israeli military forces carried out an attack on an oil depot located in southern Tehran, the capital of Iran, amid the intensification of the armed conflict in the Middle East. According to Iranian state media, the bombing caused large-scale fires at the oil facilities, becoming one of the first direct attacks against the country’s energy infrastructure since the start of the military escalation. The images released after the attack showed huge columns of smoke and flames rising from the affected plant, while emergency teams tried to control the fire. Preliminary reports indicated that several crude oil storage tanks were hit during the offensive. The attack occurs within the framework of a series of coordinated military operations that both nations have launched against strategic Iranian targets, including military installations, defense systems, and bases linked to the regime’s forces. Amid the escalation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel will continue the war “with all its force” and assured that, along with the United States, its forces have achieved almost total control of Iranian airspace after several days of bombings.

The offensive has increased tensions throughout the region and has generated international concern about the impact it could have on the global oil supply and the stability of the Middle East, especially on strategic routes such as the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. Various governments and international organizations have called for containment and diplomatic dialogue to avoid a further escalation of the conflict that could lead to a regional war of greater proportions.
