Iranian authorities have intensified their investigation into a series of fires and explosions that have plagued the country over the past weeks, with officials suspecting a coordinated sabotage campaign. The incidents, which have occurred almost daily, have prompted widespread concern and prompted security agencies to conduct a thorough probe. A fire at a major oil refinery in Abadan on Saturday resulted in at least one fatality, highlighting the potential severity of the threat.
The Abadan refinery, a crucial part of Iran’s energy infrastructure, was badly damaged by the blaze. Emergency services were called to the scene, but the extent of the damage and the impact on operations remain under assessment. Officials have not ruled out the possibility that the attacks are linked to external actors, though no specific group has been named. The situation has raised alarms about the vulnerability of Iran’s critical infrastructure to targeted attacks.
In addition to the refinery incident, there have been reports of other fires and explosions across various locations in Iran, though details on their causes and locations remain sparse. Security officials have warned that the pattern of attacks could indicate an organized effort, possibly aimed at disrupting the country’s energy sector and economic stability. The government has called for increased vigilance and is working with intelligence agencies to trace the origins of these incidents and identify any potential perpetrators.
