A CNN-News18 intelligence report said that the recent Israeli strikes on major oil facilities around Tehran could have serious implications for Iran’s domestic fuel supply.
According to the assessment, Israel, with backing from the United States, targeted dozens of large storage tanks. The aim was to choke Iran’s domestic fuel supply chain.
The strikes were intended to cripple military logistics, civilian transport, power generation and regime stability in Iran’s political heartland.
The attacks included facilities such as the Shahr-e Rey refinery complex, depots in the Shahran area of Shahr-e Rey, Kouhak, and Karaj/Fardis.
This marks one of the first major direct attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure since the conflict began.
The conflict, which initially focused on military, nuclear, missile and regime sites, is now shifting towards economic assets.
The assessment says striking large storage tanks and depots near the capital, where millions of people live, shows an intent to impose internal pressure on Iran’s domestic stability.
Facilities like Shahran and Shahr-e Rey handle critical gasoline, diesel and military fuel distribution for Tehran and surrounding areas.
Massive fires, explosions and possible leaks from these strikes could lead to shortages affecting transportation, power generation, industry and everyday civilian life.
The strikes focused on domestic refining and storage sites rather than Iran’s key export hubs such as Kharg Island or southern refineries like Abadan and Bandar Abbas.
