"Repeated Fires Plague Iranian Defense Ministry's Battery Factory"

A fire broke out at an Iranian Defense Ministry-owned car battery factory for the second time in less than a week. The blaze occurred in an area where plastic waste is stored, causing a column of black smoke to rise north of Tehran. No injuries were reported. Iran has experienced multiple fires and mishaps in its military facilities, often accusing Israel of sabotage. The two countries have a history of espionage accusations and tensions, with Israel considering Iran its greatest threat. Iran has been under Western sanctions, leading to the need for self-production and potentially increasing industrial accidents.
