Powerful Israeli strikes on Iran's Shahran oil depot sent flaming oil down the drains along the streets of Tehran, as the Iranian capital was shrouded in black smoke.

Stunning visuals from Tehran showed flaming oil running through drains after the Israeli forces struck multiple energy facilities around the Iranian capital overnight, targeting 25 large oil storage tanks at the country’s largest refinery.

According to Iranian media, three depots in Kouhak and Shahran in Tehran, as well as Karaj, were struck by Israeli fighter jets. The strikes on the Shahran oil depot sent flaming oil down storm drains along the streets in Tehran, several videos on social media showed.

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) on Saturday announced it had hit several Iranian fuel depots in Tehran, acting on intelligence guidance. “Through them, the Iranian terror regime distributes fuel to various consumers, including military entities in Iran," the IDF said in a statement.
