[Parsipride]

A section of Iran’s sprawling Abadan oil refinery in the southwest of the country went up in flames Saturday, and state media sources reported the emergency was under control as of Sunday morning.

State media is describing it as "a fire in a canal carrying waste from Iran’s Abadan oil refinery," with Iranian official broadcaster IRIB saying, “The refinery’s fire department contained the fire and prevented it from spreading to other units.”

Again, local authorities say it's the result of an accident, and though yes the occasional oil refinery blaze does happen, it's the fact that itcomes after months of unprecedented Saudi-Iran (and allies) tit-for-tat targeting of tankers and energy resources that should raise some eyebrows.

The blaze is currently subject of intense speculation online after early reports cited an initial "explosion" at the facility.

Interestingly, the Abadan refinery has been subject of major foreign investment, with a Chinese firm Sinopec signing a $1.2 billion deal with Iran's oil ministry for a major modernization project at the facility in 2016.

And earlier this year it was announced that "China's Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration and Production Corporation has invested €2 billion in development projects in the refinery since 2017," as initially cited by IRNA.

However, with new US sanctions now targeting major Chinese shipping firms and entities caught importing Iranian oil, Beijing has begun pulling out of major oil and gas infrastructure projects inside Iran.

The fire is currently said to be under control, per state sources, but a definitive cause is as yet still unclear.

So, a canal carrying waste out of the refinery was hit by a cyber attack causing fire? Does that even make sense?

Someone is trying very hard to bring these 2 countries closer to war and that someone is the same one, who brought iran and iraq to war.

It wont until all Islamic countries develop a mutual understanding of the situation. Otherwise they will fall victim to this strategy.

Lol how does Saudi Arabia make a canal catch on fire? Did they pay a worker to drop a cigarette?

Fires happen at refineries. Nothing new. Now if there was an explosion again that also happens, but would still be somewhat suspicious.

But a fire from a waste canal? Seems more like poor risk management

 

[Hack-Hook]

Honestly ,first they try to attribitute an attack committed by Houthis to iran and then attribitute this incident as a revenge by KSA against iran.
As if even KSA made such pathetic attack as revenge for an attack that halted half it's production capabilities.

Honnestly attacking a waste canal ? Sometimes. These so called social media celebrities find ways to ridicule themselves that I wonder social media is a blessing or a curse for humanity.

 

[Crystal-Clear]

israel is doing all this .

Even they are not that pathetic .

I heard Israel also controls orbit of the sun and the clouds over iran.

Nope. Turkey also wins.

Keep it up maniac mullahs!
