Tehran: A massive fire that broke out on Monday at an oil refinery in the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas, has been put out, local media reported.

The fire occurred at around 3:00 p.m. local time (11:30 GMT), semi-official news agency Young Journalists Club quoted Naser Babaei, director of the refinery’s public relations office, as saying.
