Residents in Tehran woke up to thick black clouds and drenching rain after Israeli strikes hit oil storage facilities in the Iranian capital, according to reporting by CNN correspondent Fred Pleitgen.
Tehran, a city of nearly 10 million people, experienced rainfall that appeared to be mixed with oil after the attacks, the Telegraph reports.
"You can see that the rain, the rainwater, is actually black - also saturated, apparently, with oil," Pleitgen reported from Tehran.
"So this is what's falling this morning, this kind of oil-laden rain that we have now in the Iranian capital, after the attacks happened," he said.
The Israeli military said it struck fuel distribution sites in Tehran on Saturday evening.
According to the IDF, the facilities distribute fuel "to various customers, including military entities in Iran."
"This is a significant attack that constitutes an additional step in deepening the damage to the military infrastructure of the Iranian terrorist regime," the Israeli military said in a statement.
The attacks were part of a new wave of Israeli attacks targeting Iran's energy resources.
US President Donald Trump dismissed threats from Iran's top security official, saying: "I don't care at all," and signaled that attacks on Iran would intensify this weekend.
