Event Summary

Israeli airstrikes targeted several key fuel depots in Iran===Tehran, Iran, causing massive explosions, fires, and thick black smoke that blanketed the city. The attacks, which are the first time Iranian oil infrastructure has been targeted in the ongoing war between Israel and the United States against Iran, resulted in at least four deaths, including two tanker drivers from the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company. Iran===Tehran's governor, Mohammad Sadegh Motamedian, confirmed a temporary interruption in fuel distribution, leading to long queues at petrol stations and a 20-liter limit per vehicle. The Iranian Red Crescent Society warned of toxic fumes released into the air, urging residents to stay indoors. The strikes are part of a wider regional conflict that escalated following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in US-Israeli air strikes last weekend.
