Israel Strikes Tehran Oil Tanks as Iran Expands Drone and Rocket Attacks

Fuel distribution in the capital was suspended after overnight blasts at storage sites.

Overview

  • Israel said it launched a new wave of strikes across Iran, including attacks on national oil reserves in Tehran that set large fires near the capital.
  • Tehran’s governor reported fuel distribution in the city was temporarily halted due to damage to the supply network from the strikes.
  • Iran continued firing drones and rockets toward Gulf states and Israel; Bahrain said a desalination facility was damaged, while air-raid sirens sounded across Israeli cities as defenses intercepted most incoming fire.
  • Germany temporarily relocated its embassy staff from Tehran, citing security concerns, though the mission remains reachable for consular matters.
  • President Donald Trump threatened to broaden U.S. attacks and demanded Tehran’s capitulation, as the U.S. repatriated the remains of six soldiers killed in a drone strike in Kuwait.
