The Iranian AF lost a 747-100 in 1976 that was put down to a lightning strike exploding a fuel tank

interestingly TW800 that was lost in '96 was put down to a fuel tank explosion caused by loose wiring

Both planes were from the same batch IIRC - a set that were developed for the Iranian AF and TWA bought one after the revolution
