Work accident explodes near Iran’s capital kills two, damages factory - IRNA
|
More on this story from yesterday. Possibly the Israelis had nothing to do with it, and possibly American spy squirrels were also not involved. Accidents also happen to Allah’s favoured, though of course only when he so wills.
At least two people were killed and three others injured in a large explosion at the Sepahan Boresh factory in the city of Baqershahr near Tehran on Monday night, according to Iranian and foreign reports.
The explosion was caused by "negligence in filling oxygen tanks," the Kahrizak district governor told Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty on Tuesday. The walls of the Saipa Press Company, located next to the factory, were damaged by the earth-shattering kaboom as well.
"Human error was the cause of the blast in a factory ... Two people were killed and three others were maimed," said local official Amin Babai, adding that the earth-shattering kaboom happened in "an industrial zone" at Baqershahr near Tehran.
"The explosion that was caused by some workers' negligent handling of oxygen tanks.... was so powerful that the walls of a factory nearby were also totally destroyed."
A large explosion was reportedly heard by residents of areas south of Tehran and in the Kahrizak area.
The location of the earth-shattering kaboom is not far from the warehouse where Iran's nuclear archive was found by Israel in 2018, reported the IntelliTimes intelligence blog. The Saipa Press Company is located about 11 km. northeast from the area where the nuclear archive was found in the Shurabad commercial area. A warehouse where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that nuclear equipment and material was stored is also located nearby in the Turouzabad area. The ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency found traces of uranium at the warehouse in 2019 and began investigating its origin, according to Rooters.
IntelliTimes reported that the Sepahan Boresh factory belongs to the Iranian automotive manufacturer SAIPA. It cooperates with the Iranian Ministry of Defense; the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps is involved in the company as well.
This is the third explosion reported in the Tehran region in the past two weeks and the most recent in a series of explosions and fires reported in industrial areas and infrastructure throughout Iran.
