ALBAWABA - An Iranian official reported on early Sunday morning that American-Israeli strikes targeted five fuel depots in and near the capital, Tehran, one of which is the Shahran oil depot, which was directly hit.
This came after Iran's announcement of the launch of a new wave of strikes against Israel amid continued escalation in the region, which started on Feb. 28, when Tel Aviv and Washington decided to carry out a preemptive attack against Tehran.
According to initial information, one of the oil depots is located in the Shahran region, northwest of Tehran. The attack took place overnight.

Iranian media reported that one depot in Karaj, just west of Tehran, was also hit. Tehran's main oil refinery is located near the Shahr Rey district, one of the targeted areas, and the Shahran oil depot in northwestern Tehran, which was hit by Israel during the 12-day war, was struck again, sending a dark plume of smoke into the sky.
The director of Iran's National Fuel Distribution Company reported that four oil storage facilities and a petroleum products center in Tehran and Alborz were bombed.
Iran launched revenge attacks following attacks on the oil facilities last night, leading to the injury of at least 21 Israelis, the Magen David Adom (MDA) said, adding that all are minor injuries.
