TEHRAN - 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 disquieting red and filled with acrid smoke after several oil and fuel depots were blown up across the Iranian capital.

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 Defence 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.
