Recent Sentinel-2 satellite imagery has captured persistent open flames at two Iranian refineries, days after multiple crude oil storage tanks were damaged at each facility.

Images taken on Wednesday showed massive plumes of smoke rising from two damaged crude oil tanks. Eight days prior, Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency had reported an unexplained explosion at the plant site. According to data from maritime research firm TankerTrackers.com, one of the burning tanks had a capacity of approximately 1 million barrels of crude oil—enough to fuel all motor vehicles in the United States for 3.9 hours.

At the Ravan Refinery, located 95 miles from Sirri Island, satellite imagery showed crude oil leaking from multiple storage tanks and flowing into the Persian Gulf. Shana, the media arm of Iran's Oil Ministry, had previously reported that the facility was hit by an "enemy" airstrike on April 8. Satellite images from April 10 observed a large-scale crude oil spill from space, resulting from the damage.

Due to recent cloud cover obstructing satellite imaging, it remains unclear whether open flames are still burning at the refinery complex.
