A fresh round of Israeli strikes overnight has further disrupted life in Iran and across the Gulf, as casualty figures continue to climb and regional infrastructure comes under renewed pressure.
Tehran fuel disruption
Iranian officials say overnight attacks have affected fuel distribution in Tehran, with reports from the ground describing a burning fuel depot and residents reporting unusual “oily” rainfall in parts of the capital — consistent with fallout that can follow major fuel fires, though the exact cause and extent would require independent environmental assessment.
Bahrain desalination site hit
Bahrain says an Iranian strike hit a desalination facility, sharpening concerns about how vulnerable Gulf water supplies are during escalation. Local authorities say supplies have not been disrupted so far.
Succession politics inside Iran
Iranian state outlets are reporting that hardline members of the Assembly of Experts (the body tasked with selecting a supreme leader) say a decision has been made on a successor — but no name has been announced publicly.
