A source in the Tehran municipality told security analyst Yair Goldblatt that 80 to 90 percent of the city's oil depots have been destroyed, with no possibility of rehabilitation in the near term. The claim, reported by Goldblatt on X, could not be independently verified.
A source in the Tehran municipality told security analyst Yair Goldblatt that 80 to 90 percent of the city's oil depots have been destroyed, with no possibility of rehabilitation in the near term. The claim, posted on X, comes amid ongoing military operations against Iran.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the extent of damage to Iranian infrastructure. An assessment found that most of Iran's 60% enriched uranium is entombed in destroyed Isfahan tunnels. Previous reports of a large explosion in northern Tehran have also been documented. Additionally, US officials have stated that Iran's nuclear program has been destroyed and that its missile capabilities have been severely degraded.
If confirmed, the destruction of Tehran's oil depots would represent a significant blow to Iran's fuel storage and distribution capacity, adding to the economic and logistical strain on the regime.
