#2 Separately, it appears that the oil refinery fire was a sign of Allah’s displeasure, not Israel’s, according to a post in the Times of Israel’s liveblog today:

The fire erupted at the state-owned Tondgooyan Petrochemical Co. to the south of Tehran last night. The Oil Ministry’s SHANA news agency says it was caused by a leak in two waste tanks at the facility. Authorities initially suggested the flames affected a liquified petroleum gas pipeline at the refinery.

Jalal Maleki, spokesman for the Tehran Fire Department, tells state TV that 10 fire department stations, including 60 heavy operating vehicles and more than 180 firefighters, took part in the operation to battle the blaze.

#3 Most likely spark touched off an near empty fuel tank rupturing hull flooding cargo area..
We lost a crude oil tanker Golden Dolphin much the same way several years ago. Except they were welding steam heating pipes inside the tank.
