The Israeli military launched a series of strikes on Iranian oil storage facilities late Saturday, targeting several depots around the Iranian capital, Tehran. Large explosions were reported across the city, with witnesses describing powerful blasts and visible fires near key energy infrastructure sites.

The Israeli military confirmed the operation, stating that the strikes were aimed at weakening Iran’s strategic fuel reserves amid escalating regional tensions.

Meanwhile, Iran’s clerical body responsible for selecting the country’s Supreme Leader has reportedly reached a decision on appointing a new leader, according to local Iranian media. The development comes at a sensitive moment as the country faces both internal political uncertainty and growing external pressure.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump said he believes he should have a role in the process, though details about the reported decision or the identity of the potential successor have not yet been officially disclosed.

The conflict has also prompted international diplomatic responses. The German Foreign Office announced that staff members at the German Embassy in Tehran have been relocated due to security concerns resulting from the ongoing hostilities.

At the same time, Iran has continued launching drones and missiles toward Gulf nations. Explosions were reported in both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia early Sunday, raising fears that the conflict could expand across the wider Middle East.
