Massive Blaze Engulfs Tehran Refinery Just Hours After Sinking Of Iranian Warship
Iranian fire trifecta is now in play!
[Zero Hedge] - A major oil refinery in Tehran is now engulfed in a huge blaze just hours after on Wednesday morning the Islamic Republic's largest warship caught fire and sank in the Gulf of Oman under mysterious circumstances.

Iranian state Tasnim news in a breaking report has identified it as the Shahid Tondguyan oil refinery, considered among the country's largest.

Coincidence? Or are we now witnessing a return to the summer of 2020 which saw tit-for-tat sabotage attacks on oil tankers, military and nuclear sites involving Israel and Iran?

The timing is also interesting given Iran and the West appear on the verge of completing a restored nuclear deal in Vienna, which means the US would drop sanctions and allow Iran to pursue 'peaceful nuclear energy' development. Israel has vowed to do everything to prevent such a deal which Tel Aviv sees as providing a path to nuclear weapons.

Multiple videos show a massive blaze in progress, billowing thick black smoke high over the Iranian capital...

Nice - trifecta is hit; should be good for a $75 payout on the $2 track wager. Wish I waited for the Belmont Stakes instead.
