Operations at Tehran oil refinery continues without disruption: Report
Iran’s Student News Network has dismissed reports of an attack on the oil refinery at Shahr Rey in southern Tehran, saying operations there continue without interruption. The network, however, said that a fire had broken out at a fuel tank outside the refinery and had no connection to it.
Iran’s oil ministry earlier said that an Israeli attack targeted the Shahran oil depot, which is also located in Tehran, igniting a fire there. The ministry said the situation there was under control.
