Israel Targeted Oil Depots Under the Control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps

Don’t be misled by the spectacle of fires burning in Tehran. These are not strikes on the Iranian people. These fires are not destroying ordinary commercial facilities.

… used state oil assets as its private revenue stream. Instead of operating through a normal government budget, it was granted control over oil resources and the income they generate.

Those funds have financed the regime’s regional war machine—paying for proxy militias, purchasing weapons and equipment from China, and underwriting destabilization from Lebanon to Yemen.

Because these depots are controlled and guarded by security forces, they are part of the IRGC’s military logistics network. That makes them legitimate and necessary targets for anyone seeking to degrade the regime’s capacity to wage war.

The distinction is important. The strikes were directed at assets controlled by the Guard, not at the energy infrastructure that serves ordinary Iranians. The resources of Iran should belong to the Iranian people. For decades, the IRGC has treated them as its war chest.

Look at the skyline tonight. A 360-degree view of Tehran, and everywhere you turn, the horizon is bleeding fire.

… smoke, we do not weep for it.

The outside world might look at these flames and see the tragedy of war.
We look at them and see a rescue mission.
This is the occupier’s cage melting. These fires are burning the very machinery, the bases, and the fuel that have held us hostage for 47 years.

Saturday, March 7, 2026. We are watching their strongholds burn. The smoke is heavy, but for the first time in a long time, we can see the dawn coming through it.
