Jerusalem Post-

An explosion and fire were reported at the Zarand Iranian Steel Company in eastern Iran on Saturday night, in the latest in a series of similar incidents throughout Iran, according to Iranian media.

Video reportedly from the scene showed a large blaze with what appeared to be an explosion launching debris into the air. The Iranian IRNA news reported that a large explosion occurred during the incident.

The governor of Zarand told the Iranian Fars News Agency that no injuries were caused in the incident and that the incident was under control. The incident was reportedly caused by the sudden overflow of molten material in the blast furnace, with the governor stressing that no explosion occurred.

The governor added that firefighters and emergency services were at the scene in order to prevent possible accidents and that more details would be made available later.The Zarand Iranian Steel Company is part of Middle East Mines and Mineral Industries Development Holding Company (MIDHCO), which was placed under sanctions by the Trump administration earlier this year. more

    “Bibi Netanyahu WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT!”

    …so if this is a MOSSAD thing and they’re so badass who built their reputation on Nazi hunting, why is George Soros still alive?

  2. …I lived in the next city down from a major steel refinery that’s been there as long as I’ve been alive, more than half a century now, and I’ve know people that have worked there.

    They’ve had accidents, yes.

    But they do NOT routinely blow the place up.

    …either the Iranians are lying, are REALLY bad at making batch steel because it’s not covered in the Koran, or both…
