Another handle Yoddha stated, ”BREAKING NEWS: On one side, Trump’s appeal for peace; on the other, Iran’s devastating response. Iran has fired missiles at the oil depot and refineries located in the central part of Israel. A scene of destruction and a deepening war. Is the situation now spiraling out of control?”

In conclusion, the video claiming to show an Iranian attack on oil facilities in Israel is misleading. The footage is unrelated to the ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel. It actually dates back to May 2025 and shows a large fire at a fuel depot in Al Hamriyah Port, Sharjah, UAE, where flammable petrochemical materials caught fire and produced huge flames and thick smoke.
