Fire reported at Iranian oil refinery near Tehran
The fire at the Tondguyan refinery was reportedly caused by a leak at a liquid gas pipeline.
A massive fire erupted Wednesday at an oil refinery south of Tehran, state media reported, the same day a fire tore through Iran’s largest naval vessel.
Plumes of thick black smoke were visible across the Iranian capital as the fire raged at the Tondguyan refinery. The fire was sparked by a leak at a liquid gas pipeline at the state-owned refinery, said Mansour Darajati, the director-general of the capital’s crisis management team.
