Several fuel tankers have caught fire at a truck park near the western Iranian city of Kermanshah, sparking panic among local residents.

Governor Fazlollah Ranjbar was quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying that the fire broke out on July 28 during repair work to a heavy vehicle before spreading to seven others.

The governor, however, denied there was an explosion.

“We did not have any explosions anywhere in the city today and the black smoke that citizens see in the sky of Kermanshah metropolis was related to the fire in this truck park,” Ranjbar said.

The blaze was contained by firefighters and rescue efforts were still ongoing, he added.

Five people including four firefighters were injured, an emergency services spokesperson told French news agency AFP.

You tear off the “Do Not Remove” tag on your mattresses and this sort of thing is prone to happen.

Some one has got boots on the ground either directly of through support of Iranian freedom fighters. These incidents are too varied to be originally attributed to a software virus like Stuxnet.

The only other option is some new hi-tech super secret weapon that leaves no trace.

That would be an army of Bigfoots. Or Bigfeet. I don’t know. Perhaps a grammar nazi can correct me.

Bond. James Bond.

(well, maybe not after the Steele “dossier”).

Somebody is busy. Very busy these last few weeks.

Oh, I mean, sure is a shame about those hapless accidents.

Compliments of our new US Space Force.

Did anyone believe it was formed without transfer of the weapons systems?

Spaced based laser weapons? I would assume that they don’t have to worry about the heat generation on components as the dead cold of space would take care of that...hmmmmm
