1 dead, 3 injured in fire at Iranian oil refinery

The incident occurred during repair work at the Bandar Abbas refinery, one of Iran's key import and export sites.

A 38-year-old man was killed and three others were injured, with one in critical condition, during a fire at the Bandar Abbas oil refinery.
The fire started in a furnace as it was being repaired around 11 a.m. local time.
Similar incidents have been reported at the port, strategically located at the Strait of Hormuz, and other oil facilities in Iran.
Authorities attribute these incidents to decades of sanctions on Iranian industries and hot summer weather.
The port of Bandar Abbas is crucial for Iran's imports and exports.
