A Tehran resident told CNN Sunday the city feels apocalyptic after fresh Israeli attacks targeted Iran’s oil storage sites and saw a huge fireball erupt in the Iranian capital.
“The city is dark, the sky is black,” they told CNN.
“I saw the explosion last night light up the sky it was unlike anything I’d ever seen before. It looked like the end of times, or the way I’d imagine hell,” they added.
“The fire was close to our house, I think it’s sheer luck that we’re ok right now.”
Our team on the ground earlier reported the city awoke this morning to a sky overcast with thick black clouds and blackened rainwater following the Israeli strikes.
The Israeli military said it struck fuel sites in Tehran on Saturday evening that distribute fuel “to various consumers, including military entities in Iran.”
