The fire could be the latest in a series of unexplained industrial accidents that have been closely watched by Western observers, some of which have been attributed to covert action by Israel or other Western actors.
Earlier in the day, an explosion was reported at a power station in the central Iranian province of Isfahan, the latest in a mysterious series of blasts and blazes that have occurred throughout the country.
