US and Israel Strike Five Oil Storage Sites Near Tehran; Four Killed

The United States and Israel have carried out airstrikes on five oil storage sites in and around Tehran. At least four people were killed in the incident, and some structures sustained damage.

Keramat Veiskarami, the head of the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company in Tehran, told state media, "Last night, four oil depots and one petroleum transportation center in Tehran and Alborz were targeted by enemy aircraft."

He added, "Four employees, including two oil tanker drivers, were killed in this attack. Although some structures were damaged, the fire has been brought under control."

The capital's sky was covered in smoke following the attack, and dense smoke was visible across the city as dawn broke. Local residents reported smelling burning for a long time.

Veiskarami stated that the Iranian oil depots have sufficient petroleum supply and that the supply system is operating normally. This attack follows an incident on February 28, when the US and Israel conducted airstrikes in Iran, resulting in the assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Tensions in the Middle East were high following this event.

In response, Iran launched drone and missile attacks targeting Israeli and American interests. The international community has expressed concern over this incident. However, Iranian officials stated, "The country's oil supply is sufficient, and there is no lapse in security arrangements."
