The Israeli Defense Forces struck Iranian fuel depots in Tehran, targeting the Shahran oil depot.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) on Saturday said it struck several Iranian fuel depots in Tehran, acting on intelligence guidance. Several visuals from the scene surfaced, showing fire and columns of smoke rising from the Shahran oil depot.

“The military forces of the Iranian terror regime make direct and frequent use of these fuel tanks to operate military infrastructure. Through them, the Iranian terror regime distributes fuel to various consumers, including military entities in Iran," the IDF said in a statement.

The strike “constitutes an additional step in deepening the damage to the military infrastructure of the Iranian terror regime", it added.

Earlier, Iranian state media reported an oil depot in southern Tehran, near the capital’s main refinery complex, was struck. Later, the ILNA news agency confirmed it was not damaged.

Trump’s Remarks On Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday blamed Iran for what the country’s authorities said was a “deadly strike" on a school based in the Minab city.

“We think it was done by Iran. Because they are very inaccurate, as you know, with their munitions. They have no accuracy whatsoever," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.

According to Iranian authorities, a strike hit a girl’s school last week, killing over 150 people, with most of the deceased being students. The United States and Israel have not claimed responsibility for the attack.

The developments come as war between Israel and Iran entered its second week, with Jerusalem continuing to target multiple sites in Tehran.

Iran, on the other hand, continues to retaliate by targeting facilities linked to the United States and Israel across the Gulf.
