Massive fire breaks out at oil refinery near Iran's capital
Washington Post ^ | June 2, 2021

A massive fire broke out Wednesday night at the oil refinery serving Iran’s capital, sending thick plumes of black smoke over Tehran. It wasn’t immediately clear if there were injuries.

The fire struck the state-owned Tondgooyan Petrochemical Co. to the south of Tehran, said Mansour Darajati, the director-general of the capital’s crisis management team.

Firefighters believe it struck a pipeline for liquefied petroleum gas at the facility, Darajati told Iranian state television. He did not elaborate.

They certainly do seem to be accident prone.

There’s the old saying, “No such thing as accidents, only premeditated carelessness.”

But I suppose for the Iranians, there must be a corollary, “...Or the Mossad.’

“Mossad,[a] is the national intelligence agency of Israel. It is one of the main entities in the Israeli Intelligence Community, along with Aman (military intelligence) and Shin Bet (internal security).”

“Mossad is responsible for intelligence collection, covert operations, and counter-terrorism.”

In my opinion Israel is adopting a chapter from China’s warfare against the US playbook.

Namely, relatively little use of guns and bullets and armies while employing careful, selected bribes, blackmail, billions in political contributions (bribes), virus’s and murder (Seth Rich comes to mind).

Israel clearly is just going around blowing things up.

Is this the WARFARE between Nation States of the 21st Century?

Accident or Sabotage? I bet on the latter.

Our depraved establishment must have a lot of investments in Iran that will appreciate massively in value once the old agreement that President Trump canceled is in place.

John Kerry is from an old New England family and these old families, in the ancient European tradition, cement alliances by marriage and the joining of families centered around gaining wealth and power.

John Kerry's daughter Vanessa is married to an Iranian national and physician. His best man at the ceremony was the son of Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran's Minister of Foreign Affairs. Zarif was also and Kerry's chief counterpart in the nuclear deal negotiations. Cozy crew.

A hushed up fact concerning Kerry's personal life, involves his younger daughter from his deceased first wife, Dr. Vanessa Bradford Kerry. Kerry's daughter married Dr. Brian (Behrooz) Vala Nahid, an Iranian-American physician and the son of Nooshin and Reza Vala Nahid of Los Angeles, in October 2009.

and yes, I cite a resource from a newspaper outside the United States because I did not trust our “American”, multinational-corporation owned media anymore.
