WANA (Jul 16) – In a recent Israeli regime attack on oil depots in Shahran and Shahr-e Rey, fires broke out that consumed an amount of fuel equivalent to 6 percent of Iran’s gasoline and diesel consumption during a single peak usage day.

 

During the Israeli war, two oil depots located in the southern and northern parts of Tehran—specifically in Shahr-e Rey and Shahran—were targeted by Israeli missiles.

 

Images from the scene showed thick black smoke covering the skies over western and southern Tehran following the missile strikes.

 

According to a report from a government-affiliated organization, 19.5 million liters of fuel were burned in the attack, equivalent to 6 percent of the country’s gasoline and diesel consumption during peak demand.

 

The Ministry of Petroleum stated that the amount of fuel affected was limited and that the fire was contained within the first few hours. No disruption occurred in fuel supply to the capital.

 

In retaliation, Iran targeted the Haifa oil refinery in two phases. According to monitoring groups, the Israeli refinery will not be able to resume full operations before October due to the damage caused by Iranian missiles.

 

Israeli media recently referred to the Iranian attack on the Haifa refinery as having caused “extensive damage” and have refrained from providing further details on the matter.
