Israeli fighter jets launch series of strikes on Iran’s oil facilities – dozens of oil depots on fire
Israel has dealt a punishing blow to Iran’s economy, launching a massive wave of airstrikes that has set dozens of oil depots on fire across the country, turning critical energy infrastructure into smoking ruins, defence and industry sources say.
Just before dawn, waves of F‑35 and F‑15 jets roared over key Iranian ports and refinery complexes, releasing precision‑guided munitions on storage tanks, pumping stations and export terminals. Satellite imagery reviewed by analysts shows huge plumes of black smoke rising from facilities near the Gulf coast and along major pipeline routes in the southwest.
