Massive Fire Engulfs Tehran Oil Depot After Israeli Airstrike

Following an Israeli attack, a large fire erupted at the Shahran oil depot near Tehran, causing significant damage and resulting in casualties according to Iranian reports. The incident is part of a broader escalation of conflict between Iran and Israel. Sky News footage shows massive smoke plumes rising from the depot, and a separate fire in southern Iran is also linked to Israeli airstrikes. 'Huge flames and billowing smoke were seen at the Shahran oil depot,' reported Sky News, adding that Iran has since claimed to have the blaze under control. However, the video also indicates that Israeli strikes targeted Iran's defence ministry building, causing minor damage. The conflict has already claimed lives on both sides, with Iran reporting 78 deaths on the first day of Israel's campaign. The situation remains volatile, raising concerns about regional stability. The events underscore the ongoing tension and the potential for further escalation.
