A large fire erupted late on Wednesday afternoon at an oil refinery near Iran’s capital, Tehran, which followed news from earlier in the day that the nation’s largest warship sank after it caught fire in the Gulf of Oman.
“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,” The Associated Press reported. “Firefighters believe it struck a pipeline for liquefied petroleum gas at the facility, Darajati told Iranian state television. He did not elaborate.”

The Washington Post reported earlier in the day that a fire erupted on Iran’s largest warship “under unclear circumstances” around 2:25 a.m. and that firefighters battled it for 20 hours before the nearly 680-foot Kharg sank. The ship was used to resupply other ships, conduct training exercises, and had been in use for more than four decades.
The Jerusalem Post reported:
The vessel left for training at sea several days ago. It caught fire for some reason when a “system” failed on board. The Kharg suffered devastating damage despite Iran’s best efforts to send military personnel to fight the fire. It comes a day after an Iranian aircraft crashed and two elite pilots died. … This appears to be a major setback for Iran. Iran has recently tried to increase its naval footprint, acquiring new ships and sending ships to the Red Sea and to Venezuela.
The Daily Wire previously reported that the news came as the Biden administration is in talks with Iran, which is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, to reenter the highly controversial Iran nuclear deal. The news also comes after Israel was repeatedly attacked by Palestinian terrorists last month who launched more than 4,300 rockets at Israel. One of the terrorist organizations in Gaza publicly thanked Iran for supplying it with the weapons that it used to attack Israel.
Following last month’s ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian terrorist organizations, numerous explosions and fires erupted at Iranian petrochemical plants.
“One person was killed and two others were injured in an explosion and fire at a petrochemical plant in Asaluyeh in southern Iran along the coast of the Persian Gulf … in the third such incident in the past four days,” The Jerusalem Post reported last week.

It would seem so.
Inshallah...................
And aren’t we getting our oil from them?
So many things we rely on are being mysteriously tampered with such as this, the meat incident yesterday, and policies regarding natural gas, higher gas tax proposals and so on.
Bad karma. Lightening?
Send rockets into Israel—become accident prone. Looks like a pattern. Maybe Allah isn’t happy with what you are doing to people of the book?
Ain't that something, right? (snicker!!!) Those goofy mullah's have the darndest luck!
But the left will just use this as another excuse for Biden’s rising gas prices due to his extreme energy policy.
Jewish lightning!
Punishment for abandoning the old religion?
“Fire is another important symbol of Zoroastrianism, as it represents light, warmth and has purifying powers.”
Biden is saddened by this terrible tragedy. Him and Hunter were trying to get a cash pipeline started with Iran that would end at Hunters bank account.
Pilots names were Ahmaybi Fuched, and Ahbdruhl Whattasplat.
Whew... they definitely pissed someone off.
“So Iranians do read FR.”
Well then… ahem,
Dear mullahs, go play with your goats!
I think this is the 4th or 5th “petro-chemical” plant to go up in flames in the past two weeks now...
Betcha Trump has called Bibi to congratulate him.
What?? They must be dead.
Great Awakening.......
I think Israel has had just about enough.
I had much the same thought. Biden and company might send them refined petroleum products as a gesture of US submission and to help fellow terrorists.
