Security analyst Chananel Aviv reported Tuesday afternoon that Iranian opposition channels claim a firefighter named Benjamin was seen at the site of an explosion in Tehran province. This is the latest detail in a series of unexplained blasts reported in the Tehran area today.
Earlier today, at 12:41 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported the initial explosion at Shamsabad Industrial City near Tehran. Subsequent reports identified the damaged facility as an aluminum factory, and video footage showed extensive damage. Aviv later posted his own video of the explosion, noting the cause was unclear. Each report built on the last, but all remain unconfirmed by official sources.
Aviv, an Israeli military analyst and intelligence reporter, has been tracking incidents in Iran, including explosions at an IRGC base in July and anti-aircraft fire in west Tehran, as The Zioneer has reported.
The cause of the explosion and any casualties remain unknown. The claim of a firefighter at the scene has not been independently verified, and no official confirmation from Iranian authorities has been issued.
