A massive fire broke out near fuel storage facilities in Iran, in Tehran, with flames towering high and thick clouds of smoke covering the city’s night sky. Videos circulating on social media show the fire raging in an area near the Shahran oil storage facilities, in the northwestern part of the Iranian capital.
According to a statement from the Israeli military, strikes were carried out on fuel storage facilities in Tehran on Saturday evening.
It should be noted that the same oil storage facility had been hit in June 2025, during the conflict known as the “12-Day War”.
