A Hebrew-language source reported that controlled explosions were heard in eastern Tehran, with no anomaly noted. The report, received at 09:55 Jerusalem, provides a potential explanation for the explosions that were reported in the area earlier today.
Earlier, The Zioneer reported at 09:28 that Iranian opposition sources reported an explosion near a sensitive security facility in eastern Tehran.
