Shahran oil depot

The Shahran oil depot, located in or near Tehran, Iran, is an oil storage facility that has become newsworthy due to recent attacks. As part of a joint US-Israeli military campaign against Iran, the depot was targeted in air strikes, resulting in significant damage and casualties. These attacks, which occurred in early March 2026, have caused large fires and thick plumes of smoke to engulf Tehran, contributing to a dark haze over the city. The bombing of the Shahran oil depot and other oil facilities has resulted in at least four deaths and the spread of toxic smoke, impacting the health and well-being of the civilian population. The incident highlights the escalating conflict between Iran and the US-Israeli alliance and the devastating consequences of targeting critical infrastructure in populated areas.
