This is going to hit Iran in the wallet
WATCH: ‘Tehran is ablaze’: Israel strikes massive oil depot near Iranian capital, fire rages
The Shahran oil depot near Tehran was targeted in an Israeli attack on Saturday night, sources confirmed to The Jerusalem Post.
Targets in Saturday night’s attacks on Tehran included not only an oil facility, but also sites associated with Iran’s nuclear program and command and control centers.
Iran’s Tasnim agency reported that Israel targeted the headquarters of Iran’s Defense Ministry in the capital, which the IDF later confirmed.
Defense Minister Israel Katz said, “Tehran is ablaze” on X/Twitter as footage circulated on social media from the outcome of the strikes.
Iran confirmed that the oil depot was targeted, but claimed that the “situation was under control.”“The fuel volume in the targeted tank was not high, and the situation is fully under control,” Iran’s oil ministry’s SHANA news agency reported.
Yeah, I’d rather believe Israel over Iran.

State Department urges Americans to ‘depart Iran immediately’ in latest security update
The U.S. Department of State issued a security alert telling U.S. citizens to “depart Iran immediately if they are there,” adding that Americans “should not travel to Iran for any reason.”
For any Americans in Iran, the department said they should be prepared to shelter in place for extended periods, wrote the U.S. Virtual Embassy in Iran posted early Sunday morning local time.
“U.S. citizens in Iran face serious, increasing dangers due to rising regional tensions. The U.S. government does not have diplomatic or consular relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the alert added.
The Embassy of Switzerland in Tehran serves as the protecting power for United States interests.
Probably a good idea. A better idea was not being in Iran in the first place. French president Macron is demanding that Iran release the two French citizens Iran is holding.

I will repeat war has changed.
Israel had 100’s of drones in containers all inside Iran and unleashed them to attack the scientists and IRGC leaders at the very onset of the war. Just like Ukraine did in their pearl harbor of Russia a few weeks back.
Those tanks and apc’s are doing a lot of good as 1000’s of missiles fly across the middle east.
War has changed folks. Right now the gottaways in the USA could have easily slipped a couple hundred drones into the USA. Israel and Ukraine smuggled their drones and commandos into Russia and Iran just as it is likely that Iran have/has/will do the same things. Perhaps on merchant vessels and container ships.
The aims and goals of war has not changed. Kill the other side dead. Beat them senseless until they no longer have the will to fight, but in this case… Russia and IRAN are for the most part targeting civilians while Ukraine and Israel target infrastructure and military targets.
The left hates it when they can’t bully their opponents and they were so poisoned by the narrative that Trump was Vladdy’s bed buddy that they can’t help but hate Russia for no real reason.
The narrative will be that Israel started this war as missile reign down on them from the HOUTHIS, Hezzbollah, IRGC bases built inside of Iraq supplied by china and Russia. Not to mention bases in Syria that are firing missiles at Israel. India and Israel are very close allies and it will not surprise me if India does not supply Israel with missiles, batteries and park a couple destroyers with anti air capability off the coast of Israel……widening this conflict even farther.
War has changed. Israel just reinforced that belief the rest of the world now is only now fully beginning to understand.
