Overnight airstrikes by the United States and Israel targeted five oil-related facilities in and around Iran’s capital, Tehran, resulting in four fatalities, according to an Iranian official.

Chief Executive Officer of the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company, Keramat Veyskarami, disclosed the details during a Sunday interview on state television.

Veyskarami stated that the strikes hit four oil depots and one petroleum products transportation centre in Tehran and neighbouring Alborz province.

“Last night, four oil depots and a petroleum products transport centre in Tehran and Alborz were attacked by enemy aircraft,” Veyskarami said.

He confirmed that four workers died in the attacks, including two oil tanker drivers, with several facilities sustaining varying levels of damage.

Emergency response teams managed to quickly control the fires sparked by the strikes, Veyskarami added.

Thick smoke from the blazes hung over Tehran into Sunday morning, creating a dark haze in parts of the city, while many residents reported a strong smell of burning in the air.

Veyskarami reassured the public that Iran maintains sufficient gasoline reserves despite the damage.

The strikes mark the latest escalation in the conflict that erupted on February 28, when coordinated U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran reportedly killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, igniting a broader Middle East war.

Iran retaliated with drone and missile strikes on Israel and U.S. interests regionally, intensifying the conflict and drawing global concern.

The ongoing war has disrupted energy and transportation infrastructure across parts of the region, heightening risks of wider geopolitical instability.

These attacks on Iranian oil infrastructure come amid surging global crude prices, with Brent crude reaching $92.69 per barrel and WTI at $90.90 in recent sessions, driven by fears of supply disruptions.

In Nigeria, the fallout continues to pressure domestic fuel costs, as seen in recent hikes by the Dangote Petroleum Refinery to N995 per litre ex-depot, pushing retail petrol prices toward or above N1,000 per litre in many areas.
