Satellite Imagery from Planet Labs which was obtained by the BBC, shows Damage to an Oil Storage Tank at the Abadan Oil Refinery in Southwestern Iran, near the Border with Iraq and the Persian Gulf. Both Israeli and Iranian Officials had confirmed that Air Defense Batteries near the Facility were Targeted, but nothing up until now had suggested that the Refinery itself had been Struck.

It appears that if the Oil Refinery was Struck by Israel, only One-Three Oil Tanks were Targeted, possibly by Accident or possibly as a Warning to Iran that more Damage could have been done.

Last week I was a Guest on the First Episode of the BLUF Podcast, hosted by @artoriastech where we discussed the at the time, upcoming Israeli Retaliatory Strike against Iran. While the Strike has now occurred, it is interesting to look back on some of our Predictions that were correct and some that were not even close; with Episode 2 of the Podcast coming out later this Week, where we discuss the Regional Ramifications of the Strike and what we could see moving forward in the Conflict between Israel and Iran. You can find the BLUF Podcast streaming on both Spotify and Apple Podcasts, with it coming soon to other Platforms, including YouTube and X.
