US, ISRAEL STRIKE FIVE OIL FACILITIES IN IRAN, FOUR REPORTED DEAD

The United States and Israel carried out overnight airstrikes on five oil facilities in and around Tehran, killing at least four people, according to Iranian officials.Authorities said the strikes targeted four oil depots and a petroleum products transport center located in Tehran and nearby Alborz Province. Iranian authorities confirmed that four workers, including two oil tanker drivers, were killed during the attack.Emergency crews responded to large fires that broke out at several of the facilities, with thick smoke seen rising across parts of the Iranian capital before firefighters managed to bring the situation under control.Iranian officials stated that despite the damage to the oil storage sites, the country still has adequate fuel reserves to meet domestic demand.The strikes come amid the rapidly escalating conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States, which intensified in recent weeks following a series of military operations and retaliatory missile and drone attacks across the region.Security analysts warn the latest strikes could further inflame tensions in the Middle East, raising concerns about a wider regional war.
