Media: Fire at Iran's main gas plant on the Persian Gulf

In the main Iranian gas plant, located in Bandar Kangan on the Persian Gulf, there was a fire on Wednesday as a consequence of the attack of the United States and Israel," reported Iranian state television.

"A fewer moments ago, any of the gas plants (South Pars refinery, located in the port city of Bandar Kangan in the south of Iran) were hit by missiles from an American-Zionist enemy," reported Iranian television, quoting Deputy politician of the Buszehr Province.

It was added that a fire department was sent to the scene.
