Israel carries out major strikes on Tehran, hitting fuel depots and other targets

The Israeli military launched a significant wave of strikes deep into Tehran, the capital of Iran. The attacks reportedly hit fuel depots, which Iran said were burning, and targeted an Assembly of Experts meeting and a police chief. CNN reported seeing a thick plume of smoke over the city, and residents described it as the heaviest bombing since the war began, with some areas being warned of imminent strikes.

Iran stated that the shelling of the fuel depots violated international law and warned it could fight for months. The strikes occurred as the broader Middle East war entered its second month. The events were reported by multiple news outlets, including TASS, and involved the IDF and the IRGC.

Many headlines focused on the scale of the attack on Tehran, with descriptions of the damage and the immediate impact on the city's residents, who reported having no safe place.
