US and Israel Airstrikes Near Tehran Kill Four, Damage Oil Facilities

On Sunday, February 28, the United States and Israel launched airstrikes targeting multiple oil facilities near Tehran, Iran, leading to the deaths of four individuals and significant damage to the country's energy infrastructure. Keramat Veyskarami, the Chief Executive Officer of the Iranian Oil Product Distribution Company, confirmed the incident during an interview with Iranian state television.

He reported that the facilities sustained damage and that emergency responders were able to contain the fires caused by the strikes. Residents in Tehran reported seeing smoke and a strong smell of burning in various parts of the city.

Despite the damage, officials assured citizens that the country's fuel supply remains stable. This attack is part of a broader escalation of conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel, which has intensified since a major airstrike on February 28 that killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, further heightening tensions across the Middle East.
