Iran Refinery Fire


Iran’s Birjand Refinery in Flames

Oil Refinery Goes Up In Flames Inside Iran

By Ryan Saavedra

An oil refinery inside Iran went up in flames over the weekend, triggering several massive explosions.

The state-run Islamic Republic News Agency, or IRNA, said that all 18 reservoirs at the refinery in eastern Iran’s Birjand special economic zone caught fire.

“The initial stages of the fire consumed 1.5 million litres of fuel,” Iranian officials said.

The Jerusalem Post reported that Iranian officials were leaning toward letting the fire burn itself out because it was too dangerous for firefighters to get close enough to attempt to extinguish it.

There was no indication of what caused the fire or whether it was an accident or sabotage. Iran had not yet tried to blame anyone.

While it could have been an accident, it’s worth noting that the fire — which easily caused millions of dollars in damage — comes as Iranian-backed terrorists in Yemen have attacked Israeli shipping vessels over the past few weeks, causing damage to the ships and hijacking another.

    1. I’ll see your marshmallows and raise you, Honey Grahams, Hersey Bars, and Ball Parks’ All Beef Jumbos.

      The fireball that needs to be seen there leaves a sheet of glass.

      Oil futures price increase in 5.4.3.2..

            1. Muslim country fire… Hebrew national dogs…

              Muslims don’t like pork
              Hebrew national… jewish.

            2. Really? You didn’t notice that those are Hebrew National KOSHER hot dogs? What kind of Jew ARE you?

                1. Oh please…that muh-fugger has been in this country for going on 20 years. You tryin’ to tell me he hasn’t seen a package of Hebrew National hot dogs in all that time?

              1. I saw that. The way KoB said it I thought there was some hidden meaning I had missed.
                Kosher food in a fire can have many meanings. Some of them nefarious.

                Though of course, not here in TAH. Especially not from AW1Ed or KoB.

                I am seeing ghosts where there is nothing. And I hate myself for reacting like a victim there for a second.

                1. Nobody here cares about if, how, or to whom you pray. Your choice in beer on the other hand…

            1. Asked my sis-in-law if I should use Kosher salt on the pork roast I was preparing.

              She was instantly horrified- then started to laugh her ass of exactly as intended.

        1. I’ll be frank about the franks in that frankly if they aren”t uncured, then I’ll stick with the Oscar Myer uncured franks and frank you for showing the pic of the franks.

                  1. Reminds me of a joke:

                    A rabbi is planning on retiring from his main occupation, which is giving circumcisions. Over the years he’s saved up all the foreskins from all the circumcisions he’s taken part in. He looks at them and decides to take them to the local leatherworker to see if something can be made of them. The rabbi explains that he’d like to have a retirement gift made out of the foreskins and the leatherworker agrees and tells the rabbi to come back in a couple weeks. A couple weeks later the rabbi comes back and the leatherworker hands him a wallet. “All those foreskins and you only made me a wallet?!?” The rabbi exclaims. The leatherworker replies, “Don’t fret, if you rub it a bit it becomes a suitcase.”

    1. It is interesting to note that the refinery was deep, deep in land. but not nearly out of the range of sub launched cruise and or ballistic missiles from the Gulf of Oman. Of which Israel allegedly has some.

      In fact were one observant, they might note that such a launch could easily have hit Tehran with such a missile that could potentially have much brighter and louder munitions, I mean if one were thinking about such a thing. Something, that someone, might have to think about, if they were making threats to turn Israel into a river of fire on a daily basis.

      1. Could also have been a dissident with a few hundred bucks worth of toy drone and hardware store pyro.

        Heh.

  1. Iran, these tears are for you. May the IRGC sooner know the gentle embrace of Allah and be closer to heaven than ever before.

  2. “leaning toward letting the fire burn itself out”

    As if they have a choice. I watched the tank farm at DaNang burn for a week in 1970 after a rocket barrage.
    Burn baby burn….

  3. FOR BEHOLD MY FIELD OF……well, I think a’y’all know the rest.

  4. See the light.
    Feel the heat.
    Contemplate the implications.
    -or-
    Go back to the delusions Mo sold you thinking your Allah is potent.

    Choices.

      1. I’m afraid you’re right. Economic equality and all that. I’m sure whomever is pulling his strings has the forms all filled out, awaiting his signature.

        The mayor of Rockbridge comes to mind.

  5. Hm.

    BOC “Burnin for you” seems appropriate.

    Or perhaps the José Feliciano version of “Light My Fire”

      1. The Crazy World of Arthur Brown…that was one loco muh-fugger, going out on stage with a fire burning on his headpiece. I’m surprised he didn’t torch himself with that fire and that flowing robe made of some synthetic material, probably polyester or rayon.

  6. For context, 1.5 million liters of oil is just over 396,000 gallons, or less than 9,500 barrels. Not really a whole lot.

  7. Maybe some Hadji working his shift JUST HAD TO have a cigarette in the wrong place?
