Attack on an oil facility: "River of fire" on a roadside in Tehran
The United States and Israel have now targeted Iran's oil facilities. On Sunday, the ninth day of the war, the country's oil facilities were attacked in a series of attacks. A terrible situation arose after attacks on several oil depots and refineries in the capital Tehran and its west. The night sky turned red with spiraling fires. Oil spilled into drains created a 'river of fire' along the side of the road. And during the day, the sky over Tehran was covered in smoke. At least 41 people were killed in these attacks.
The initial targets of the US-Israeli attack on Iran on February 28 were mainly Tehran's military installations and top leaders. Although they have also attacked civilian installations. Yesterday, their attack targeted Iran's oil and energy facilities.
In response to yesterday's attack, Iran launched attacks on US military bases in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Jordan. A Bangladeshi and an Indian were killed when a 'missile' hit a compound in Saudi Arabia's Al-Kharj Governorate.
Kuwait's airport, fuel depot, and security building were attacked. Two people were killed in these attacks. Kuwait has announced a reduction in oil production in the overall situation. Iran launched missile and drone attacks on several cities in Israel, including Tel Aviv and Haifa, yesterday. Three people were injured in Israel. Three people were injured when missiles and drones were shot down in Bahrain. A US military base was attacked in Erbil, Iraq.
Along with Iran, Israel is also attacking Lebanon. Two soldiers were killed in fighting with the Iranian-backed armed group Hezbollah in southern Lebanon yesterday. And the death toll from Israel's indiscriminate attacks in Lebanon has risen to 394.
After the unprecedented attack on civilian facilities in Iran, US President Donald Trump said that there will come a time when there will be no one in Iran to say 'I surrender'. However, in the midst of his warning, Iran's Assembly of Experts announced that it will choose a new Supreme Leader. Although the name has not been announced until the last news was received yesterday. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that Iran will build strong resistance against the attack. His country will respond harshly to these attacks.
On the first day of the attack on February 28, the United States and Israel killed several leading military and civilian officials, including Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Since then, the United States and Israel have been attacking the country in phases. In response, Iran has continued to attack US bases in Israel and various countries in the Middle East.
The ongoing war has spread to 12 countries in the Middle East. 33 people have been killed in these countries except Iran. Updated information on the number of deaths in Iran has not been reported for two days. The country's Red Crescent said on Friday that 1,332 people had been killed in the country.
