Israeli attack on oil depot in Tehran suburb causes great fire
(MENAFN) Israel struck an oil depot in Shahran, a suburb northwest of Tehran, adding to the ongoing exchange of attacks between the two adversaries on Saturday and Sunday.
Footage from the scene shows large flames and thick black smoke billowing into the sky, while Iran’s Oil Ministry said firefighters and emergency crews were rushed to control the blaze.
The attack came a day after Israeli warplanes struck military and nuclear sites across Iran, including a key enrichment facility in Natanz. Reports say several high-profile commanders and veteran nuclear experts were killed in the operations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated the attacks were meant to keep Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
Iran condemned the strikes as unjustified and responded by launching a barrage of kamikaze drones and ballistic missiles toward Israel, describing the attack as “a declaration of war.”
