US-Israeli Airstrikes Hit Tehran Fuel Facilities, Four Workers Killed

U.S.–Israeli airstrikes struck several fuel storage facilities in Tehran on Saturday night, triggering large explosions and killing four workers at one site, Iranian media reported.

Iran’s Fars News Agency said missiles hit the Aghdasieh oil warehouse in northeast Tehran, the Tehran refinery in the south of the capital, the Shahran oil depot in the west, and another oil depot in the nearby city of Karaj.

Witnesses said oil from the Shahran depot had leaked into surrounding streets following the strike.

Israel said it had targeted “a number of fuel storage facilities in Tehran” that it alleged were being used to support military infrastructure.

The attacks appeared to signal a new phase in the conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would continue its campaign and strike Iran’s leadership “without mercy.”

“We have an organised plan with many surprises to destabilise the regime and enable change,” Netanyahu said in a video statement. “We have many more targets.”

Joint U.S.–Israeli strikes on Iran have continued for a ninth day, with Iranian officials saying more than 1,300 people have been killed in Iran and about 300 in Lebanon.

Around a dozen people have been reported killed in Israel since the hostilities escalated.
