Israel strikes fuel depot in Tehran
Shafaq News/ Israel launched a fresh wave of airstrikes on Iran early Sunday, targeting a major fuel storage facility in the capital Tehran, igniting massive explosions and raising fears of wider unrest. Israeli media outlets reported a large fire at an oil facility in the Shahran district, west of the capital, following the strike. The targeted facility produces seven million liters of fuel daily, serving as a critical supply hub for the capital's energy needs. The New York Times, citing an Iranian Oil Ministry official, reported that the explosions were caused by an Israeli strike on Tehran's main fuel depot. Iranian officials reportedly fear the attacks on vital oil and gas infrastructure could spark public unrest or fresh waves of anti-government protests. The Israeli army said its latest round of strikes targeted the Ministry of Defense, nuclear research facilities, and strategic oil infrastructure in Tehran, in what it called a direct response to Iran's missile barrage late Saturday. Earlier, the Israeli military said it had intercepted multiple missiles launched from inside Iran, confirming that air defenses were 'operating in real time.' The military also issued an urgent nationwide alert, ordering residents in central and northern Israel to remain in protected areas. Israeli media reported that nearly 40 missiles were fired from Iran toward Haifa, although no official figures were released on damage or casualties amid strict security censorship. The escalation comes less than 48 hours after Israel conducted airstrikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites, killing senior commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Iran retaliated with drones and missile salvos targeting Israel's interior, marking one of the most severe confrontations between the two arch-rivals in years.

Netanyahu says Israel will strike 'every target of the ayatollah regime' in Iran
ISRAELI PRIME Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened on Saturday to strike 'every target of the ayatollah regime' in Iran, adding that Israeli strikes had dealt a 'real blow' to Tehran's nuclear programme. 'We will hit every site, every target of the ayatollah regime,' Netanyahu said in a video statement on the second day of Israel's air campaign targeting Iranian military and nuclear sites. 'We have dealt a real blow to their nuclear programme' since Friday, he added. 'We have opened a path to Tehran. Very soon, you will see Israeli aircraft -- our air force, our pilots -- in the skies over Tehran,' Netanyahu said, shortly after Israel's military reported it had struck 40 targets in the Iranian capital overnight, including missiles and advanced air defence systems. Israel on Friday launched an unprecedented attack on Iran, hitting more than 200 military and nuclear sites, military spokesman Effie Defrin said, killing top army commanders, nuclear scientists and other senior officials. 'What they have felt so far is nothing compared to what they will feel under the force of our arm in the coming days,' Netanyahu said Saturday. 'We are acting with full force to eliminate this dual threat to the State of Israel,' he added, referring to Iran's nuclear programme and its ballistic missile capabilities. Iran said 78 people had been killed and 320 wounded in the first Israeli wave of strikes. Iran in return launched barrages of drones and missiles at Israel, killing three people, injuring more than 70 others and causing damage in several cities.

Iran and Israel trade fresh missile strikes amid rising tensions in Middle East, as Donald Trump calls for end to conflict
Iran and Israel have traded a fresh round of rocket fire, as United States President Donald Trump declares the deadly conflict "should end". Tensions have been growing between Tehran and Jerusalem after Israel's strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities on Friday, which it claimed killed senior military officials and scientists. Iran in turn fired 100 drones towards Israel in the hours following the attack, after vowing a "harsh and decisive" response in retaliation to the strikes. The conflict has continued to escalate over the weekend, with both Israel and Iran exchanging a new wave of missiles on late Saturday night, local time. Iran has claimed Israeli strikes have pounded its major Shahran oil depot located north-west of Tehran, with reports of a fire breaking out soon after the attack on the facility. Meanwhile, the Israeli Air Force confirmed it is "attacking military targets in Tehran, in parallel with the activity of intercepting missiles launched from Iran". Israeli Defence Force International Spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani also said the military is attempting to block Iranian strikes. "While the IDF is operating to intercept missiles launched from Iran, the IAF is currently striking military targets in Tehran," he wrote on X on Saturday night. Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz took to social media to declare "Tehran is burning" not long after news broke of the attack on the oil facility. The conflict has sparked concern for various world leaders, including President Trump who confirmed he discussed the Israel-Iran war during a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "The call lasted approximately one hour. He feels, as do I, this war in Israel-Iran should end, to which I explained, his war (with Ukraine) should also end," the President wrote on Truth Social. The Kremlin has confirmed the call took place between the two leaders, in which President Trump claims Putin wished him a happy 79th birthday. Kremlin spokesperson Yuri Ushakov said Putin condemned the Israeli military operation against Iran and expressed concern about the risks of escalation. President Trump's comments mark the first time he has explicitly called for an end to hostilities between Washington's ally Israel and its Middle East rival Iran since it began late last week. Reuters reports that several projectiles could be seen in the night sky over Jerusalem late on Saturday, while sirens could be heard in the northern Israeli city of Haifa. Iran said 78 people were killed on the first day of Israel's campaign, and scores more on the second, including 60 when a missile brought down a 14-storey apartment block in Tehran. Iran had launched its own retaliatory missile volley on Friday night, killing at least three people in Israel. Israel's ambulance service said a woman in her 20s was killed and 13 other people injured when a missile struck a two-story house in northern Israel. - with Reuters
