Israeli attacks cause explosions at two oil depots in Tehran

Iran's Ministry of Petroleum confirmed that two oil depots in Tehran, capital of Iran, were hit by Israeli attacks on Saturday night.

Residents reported two powerful explosions in the capital, with blasts felt in both the western and northern districts. The ministry said the situation was "under control."

This assault is part of Israel's ongoing wave of strikes targeting Iranian military, nuclear, and oil facilities, raising concerns about a potential escalation in regional tensions. On the same night, the headquarters of the Iranian Ministry of Defense was also hit by Israeli forces.

In addition to military installations, Israeli troops targeted locations within urban areas, including near residential neighborhoods, resulting in casualties among innocent civilians.

According to Iran's state-run IRIB TV, at least 60 people, including 20 children, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a 14-story building in a residential complex in the Iranian capital Tehran on Friday morning.
