The United States and Israel have fired several missiles overnight and struck five oil facilities in and near the Iranian capital, killing four people on Sunday, according to State TV.
“Last night, four oil depots and a petroleum products transport centre in Tehran and Alborz were attacked by enemy aircraft,” the CEO of the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company, Keramat Veyskarami, told state TV.
“Four of our personnel, including two oil tanker drivers, were killed in the incident,” he added, saying facilities “were damaged” but the “fire was brought under control.”

Later that morning, the capital was covered in dark clouds from overnight fires.
There was a prolonged burning smell, according to locals. According to Veyskarami, Iran’s oil stockpiles have “sufficient petrol reserves.”
The US and Israel attacked Iran on February 28, killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the country’s top leader, and starting a Middle East conflict.
Iran retaliated by attacking Israel and US interests throughout the area with drones and missiles.
