BREAKING: Another Massive Fire Erupts At An Iranian Oil Refinery, Follows Sinking Of Largest Warship
Clarion News ^ | 6-2-2021 | Ryan Saavedra

Posted on 06/02/2021 9:34:34 AM PDT by blam

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.

Sounds like layabout muzzie incompetence, or an inside job by Iranians opposed to the mullahcracy. Crisis mgmt team? That's a LOL!

The mullahs seem to be on a streak of bad luck.

Time to pull the 12th imam out of the well in Qom.

i used to work at a place where they sent contractors to the ME to train locals on various technical systems. Your thought on laziness and incompetence is spot on. My friend who used to travel there had many funny stories about the halfwits and their stupidity. Yet each one thinks he’s the king of the world and possessed on total competence. When something goes wrong it’s always someone else’s fault. Or Mossad sabotage.

I think Mossad gets a lot of credit for what’s really the general incompetence of the Arabs.

These are too close together to be just incompetence. I’m running out of comedians claiming responsibility. I’d guess Mossad, despairing of the Biden klepto-crazy, is taking matters in hand with Bibi’s blessing, as his parting gift to the country. We’ll be seeing a lot of these “accidents” in the coming weeks.

You forgot the two pilots who got ejected from their fighter jets while taxi-ing out of the hangar. Smacked their heads against the ceiling and died.

Yeah, it’s good that the Mossad doesn’t get complacent, but I think everyone learned a hard lesson in 1973.

Yeah probably. But never discount the incompetence of these people. I wish the NVA had been as incompetent.

In a top-down patronage (corrupt) society, it ain't what ya know, it's who ya, uh, know. Nepotism and then some, on steroids.
