WATCH: 'Tehran is ablaze': Israel strikes massive oil depot near Iranian capital, fire rages
Israel also targets the headquarters of Iran's Defense Ministry • Defense Minister Israel Katz: "Tehran is ablaze"
The Shahran oil depot near Tehran was targeted in an Israeli attack on Saturday night, sources confirmed to The Jerusalem Post.
Targets in Saturday night’s attacks on Tehran included not only an oil facility, but also sites associated with Iran's nuclear program and command and control centers.
Iran's Tasnim agency reported that Israel targeted the headquarters of Iran's Defense Ministry in the capital, which the IDF later confirmed.
The IAF had completed a series of intelligence-based strikes on targets in Tehran, the IDF announced.
They targeted the Iranian Defense Ministry, the headquarters of the SPND nuclear project, and other targets.
Iran confirmed that the oil depot was targeted, but claimed that the "situation was under control."
"The fuel volume in the targeted tank was not high, and the situation is fully under control," Iran's oil ministry's SHANA news agency reported.
The Shahran oil depot consists of 11 tanks that produce around seven million liters of oil a day, around 260 million liters in total.
This is a developing story. Reuters contributed to this report.
