Oil Plant 'Hit by Iranian Drones' as Huge Fire Breaks Out in Erbil

Three drones hit the facility, and officials said the blaze consumed oil and logistical supplies while no workers were injured.

  • Multiple drone strikes hit a Castrol oil depot operated by the Sardar Group on the Erbil-Mosul road, with Erbil governor Omid Xoshnaw reporting the bombardment left "nothing inside the depot untouched by flames."
  • Exchanges of strikes persist between the Islamic Republic and Israel, with reports of 'Iranian aggression' targeting Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, resulting in a Bangladeshi national's death.
  • Seyed Ali Mousavi, Tehran's ambassador to the United Kingdom, warned British military bases could be "legitimate targets," claiming the British Fairford base has been serving American jets equipped with weapons.
  • The Iranian Parliament's Security Commission approved a plan to impose "tolls" on the Strait of Hormuz and prohibit transit for ships associated with the United States and Israel.
  • President Trump will deliver an "Address to the Nation" tomorrow night at 9 PM ET to provide an update on the Iran war, according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
