Fire. Fire everywhere. Bose with scenes in Tehran on Saturday night, following an Israeli defense force's idea of attack that targeted 30 fuel depots and other areas that the IDF claimed were affiliated with the Iranian armed forces.

In a video shared with the outlet Iran International, oil depots were burning in three corners of Tehran with flames visible in the west, east, and south of the capital. The resulting fires were so bright that one resident told the BBC it was as if night had turned in today, then came the rain.

Black clouds of toxic smoke gathered over Tehran and rain saturated with what appeared to be oil fell on the city.
