5 Oil Sites, F-14 Jets, Quds Forces, Khamenei's Bunker: What Did Israel Strike Since Iran Conflict Began?

Last Updated:March 08, 2026, 15:08 IST

Israeli military spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin said they had "initiated a wave of strikes targeting the Iranian terror regime military infrastructure across Iran"

Israel on Sunday said it targeted oil and military infrastructure across Iran as the ongoing West Asia conflict entered its second week and the ninth day.

According to the Israeli military, it has carried out 3,400 strikes, including the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, since the country launched ‘Operation Epic Fury’ with the United States.

In a series of posts on its social media platform, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) gave a detailed account of the operations and also posted a video of how it destroyed Khamenei’s “underground military bunker" as it ramped up its assault in the last 48 hours of the war. It said it has significantly expanded its offensive, launching what it called a “new phase" targeting critical military infrastructure, air defence systems, and energy resources across Iran and beyond its borders as well.

“Iran’s threat extends far beyond its borders. Through Hezbollah and other proxies, the Iranian regime targets civilians across the region. Together with the United States we are dismantling this terror network," the IDF said in a post on X on March 6.

The IDF said it has deployed roughly 7,500 munitions during the operation. The latest waves of strikes have seen a marked shift in strategy, moving beyond purely military installations to target civil industrial facilities for the first time. Military spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin said the military had “initiated a wave of strikes targeting the Iranian terror regime military infrastructure across Iran".

This escalation, particularly the targeting of oil depots, has raised significant international concerns regarding global fuel stability and the security of shipping transport in the Gulf.

FIVE OIL SITES IN TEHRAN

Israeli and US forces targeted five oil facilities in and near Iranian capital Tehran. This involved strikes on four oil depots and a petroleum products transport centre, as per Keramat Veyskarami, CEO of the Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company.

Veyskarami said the attacks killed four personnel, including two oil tanker drivers, and caused significant damage to the facilities, though he claimed the resulting fires were brought under control. The intensity of the strikes was visible to residents and observers alike; AP video footage showed “pillars of fire" lighting up the night sky on Saturday (March 7), leaving a “dark haze" and the lingering smell of burning over Tehran by Sunday morning.

While Iranian officials have said the country has “sufficient gasoline reserves", the targeting of this infrastructure has deepened global market concerns regarding crude production and exports from the Gulf.

“STRUCK: Several Fuel Storage Complexes Belonging to the IRGC in Tehran. Guided by IDF intelligence, the IAF struck these complexes, where the Iranian terrorist regime would distribute fuel to multiple military entities in Iran. The strike significantly deepens the damage to the military infrastructure of the Iranian terrorist regime," the IDF said on X.

F-14 JETS DESTROYED AT ISFAHAN AIRPORT

The Israeli military targeted Iran’s fleet of F-14 fighter jets at Isfahan airport in Tehran. These aircraft, which were purchased from the United States before the 1979 revolution, have historically served as a pillar of the Iranian air force and its primary means of defending national airspace.

While the Israeli military did not explicitly state if the entire fleet was destroyed, it confirmed striking the series of jets along with critical detection and air defence systems. It issued a warning via social media, stating it will continue to pursue any individuals involved in appointing a successor to Khamenei.
