When the molten steal and all the slag cools.....it will be a long time before the furnace starts working.
And if the furnace tapping system is broken,,,the entire furnace stack will eventually freeze.
Tapping the furnace
Posted on 06/06/2021 7:45:24 AM PDT by blam
A large fire broke out Saturday night at a steel factory in the southeast city of Zarand in Iran. It's the latest in a mysterious string of blasts and 'accidental' blazes at sensitive sites to beset the Islamic Republic, raising questions of possible Israel sabotage akin to what happened a year ago in the summer of 2020.
"The governor of Zarand told the Iranian Fars News Agency that no injuries were caused in the incident and that the incident was under control," The Jerusalem Post reports. "The incident was reportedly caused by the sudden overflow of molten material in the blast furnace, with the governor stressing that no explosion occurred." But some early videos show otherwise.

فرماندار شهرستان زرند:
حادثه کارخانه، سرریز شدن مواد مذاب بوده است
این حادثه در حال حاضر مهار شده است
از مردم زرند درخواست داریم به محل کارخانه مراجعه نکنند
تاکنون هیچ تلفات جانی از این حادثه گزارش نشده است pic.twitter.com/C29vHn2Tfa — خبرگزاری تسنیم 🇮🇷 (@Tasnimnews_Fa) June 6, 2021
Social media videos showed a sizable blaze which appear to have triggered a significant explosion, however, resulting in debris and what looks like molten steel flying into the air.
Even if Iran suspects that Israel is behind some of these latest incidents over the past month, Tehran officials are likely reluctant to go public with accusations given negotiators are reportedly on the cusp of a nuclear deal in Vienna, and as the country is gearing up to vote for a new president this month.
Israel has vowed to thwart a deal by any means possible, with embattled PM Netanyahu lately openly verbalizing he's willing to consider any level of action even if it causes "friction" with the United States.

The reports came on the heels of a massive oil refinery fire this week in the capital, Tehran."
One Middle East news source reviews the recent string of fires and explosions hitting key Iranian assets as follows:
•Three days earlier, a major fire tore through the Tehran Oil Refining Company in the outskirts of the Iranian capital. •Another explosion followed by a fire sank Iran’s largest naval vessel in the Sea of Oman, near it shores, on June 2. •On May 23, nine people were injured in another blast at a plant producing explosive materials in central Iran... •three days later, a pipeline explosion at a petrochemical complex near Iran's Gulf coast left one dead.

I’m already seeing lots of speculation #Israel was behind this—as always. Interestingly the U.S. sanctioned the Zarand Steel Company in 2021. But aging infrastructure plus hot temperatures also increases likelihood of these incidents. #Iran https://t.co/aECzvQSFah — Jason Brodsky (@JasonMBrodsky) June 5, 2021

Bibi running down his to-do list before he leaves office.
Nice steel factory you’ve got there.
Be a shame if anything happened to it.

Tapping the furnace
A rolling stone gathers no Mossad.
Really astonished that Netanyahu, who has studied the Holocaust and who’s life has been defined by it, will be leaving office while the existential threat to Israel and the Jewish people of a nuclear capable Iran, governed by mad, medieval mullahs, remains essentially intact. He will no doubt view his career a failure since he , like the German Jews in 1926 Germany,who for whatever reason failed to eliminate the existential and real threat to Jews, when he and they had the power to do so.
What a remarkable set of providential circumstances. A weak US president who is the enemy of Israel and a friend of Islam and somehow all these “accidents” happen to the main exporter of terrorism in the world.
Excellent!
Firan
Their ship sinks because of a fire. Their oil refinery was wrecked…because of fire. Now a steel plant is on fire.
Seems to me they should invest in some smoke detectors.
......”string of blasts and ‘accidental’ blazes at sensitive sites”.....
Hum-mmm...un-named sensitive sites.
Invading the Arabs and threatening the Americans and Israelis doesn’t come without costs. We can expect these costs to rise
I love hearing good news like that!
Now *this* is what "resistance" looks like.
Amen
This is fighting
Send the Mullahs to the ultimate fire. That will end this.
We need to send a battalion of OSHA inspectors over to Iran “To Help Them!”.
And perhaps some "No Smoking" signs. Could be someone lit a falafel fart. You never know. "Hey, Achmed - watch this!"
"Do not attack the enemy [directly]; attack the enemy's plans."
While Israel is likely responsible for one or two of these, my guess is Iranian dissidents are joining in on the fun.
