TEHRAN (Reuters) - An explosion caused a fire at an Iranian oil refinery on Friday and a separate incident killed one person in an oil field explosion, the semi-official Mehr news agency reported.

The oil field blast happened at Bibi Hakimeh near the Gulf, killing one person and injuring three, Mehr said.
