This is going to hit Iran in the wallet
WATCH: ‘Tehran is ablaze’: Israel strikes massive oil depot near Iranian capital, fire rages
The Shahran oil depot near Tehran was targeted in an Israeli attack on Saturday night, sources confirmed to The Jerusalem Post.
Targets in Saturday night’s attacks on Tehran included not only an oil facility, but also sites associated with Iran’s nuclear program and command and control centers.
Iran’s Tasnim agency reported that Israel targeted the headquarters of Iran’s Defense Ministry in the capital, which the IDF later confirmed.
Defense Minister Israel Katz said, “Tehran is ablaze” on X/Twitter as footage circulated on social media from the outcome of the strikes.
Iran confirmed that the oil depot was targeted, but claimed that the “situation was under control.”“The fuel volume in the targeted tank was not high, and the situation is fully under control,” Iran’s oil ministry’s SHANA news agency reported.
Yeah, I’d rather believe Israel over Iran.

State Department urges Americans to ‘depart Iran immediately’ in latest security update
The U.S. Department of State issued a security alert telling U.S. citizens to “depart Iran immediately if they are there,” adding that Americans “should not travel to Iran for any reason.”
For any Americans in Iran, the department said they should be prepared to shelter in place for extended periods, wrote the U.S. Virtual Embassy in Iran posted early Sunday morning local time.
“U.S. citizens in Iran face serious, increasing dangers due to rising regional tensions. The U.S. government does not have diplomatic or consular relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the alert added.
The Embassy of Switzerland in Tehran serves as the protecting power for United States interests.
Probably a good idea. A better idea was not being in Iran in the first place. French president Macron is demanding that Iran release the two French citizens Iran is holding.
