Shocking footage shows the moment fire was seen flowing through the streets of Tehran in the apocalyptic scenes following US strikes on oil depots.
Iran’s capital erupted into flames as Israel and the US last night launched a fresh wave of devastating strikes as the Middle East conflict rages on.
The skies over Tehran turned a haunting shade of red and filled with acrid smoke after several oil and fuel depots were blown up.

Huge fireballs could be seen erupting across the city’s skyline, while residents complained of a lingering burning smell in the air, as both the US and Israel doubled down on their pledge to fight until the ‘eradication’ of the Iranian regime.
Iran continued to mount its own attacks on Saturday, launching drones and missiles at Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Dubai – where one man was killed by falling shrapnel from an ‘aerial interception’ and two skyscrapers were damaged.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that it had struck ‘several fuel storage complexes’ in Tehran as part of a ‘significant strike’ against the regime.
One resident in Tehran said it looked as if ‘night had turned into day’ as the sky was lit up by explosive orange flames from intense overnight infernos.

Saturday’s attack on the Iranian regime’s infrastructure came as US President Donald Trump raised the possibility of the war against Iran ending when there was no longer a functioning military or any remaining leadership in power.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said: ‘At some point, I don’t think there will be anybody left maybe to say “We surrender”.’
The president also warned Sir Keir Starmer that he will remember the lack of support from ‘our once great ally’ for a war he has ‘already won’ – as he told the British PM he doesn’t need Britain to send aircrafts to the Middle East in an extraordinary attack.
Trump’s sentiments were echoed by his Israeli counterpart, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said Israel will continue its war with Iran ‘with all our force’. He added that Israel has a ‘systematic plan to eradicate the Iranian regime’.
Alongside the United States, Netanyahu said Israel had gained near-total control of the skies over Tehran after a week of strikes, while the IDF has ‘many surprises’ for the next phase of the war.
‘Citizens, you are telling me, the government and our heroic soldiers to continue until victory, and I thank you. I can assure you that we will continue with all our force,’ Netanyahu said in a televised address last night.
Speaking to the Iranian people, he said the ‘moment of truth’ was coming as Israel was seeking to help liberate them from the ‘yoke of tyranny’.
