Fire erupts at military base in western Iran; no casualties

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran’s state-linked media says a fire has erupted at a military base in the country’s west. The Iranian website Nournews, believed to be close to Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said on Monday that the fire broke out at a warehouse full of engine oil and flammable materials at a base belonging to Iran’s powerful paramilitary Revolutionary Guard. The blaze in Kemranshah damaged a shed but did not cause any casualties. Investigators were looking into the cause. It was the latest in a series of blazes and other mishaps affecting Iranian infrastructure as negotiations to revive Tehran’s nuclear deal continue.
