The explosions heard in the central Iranian city of Isfahan are under control, according to an Israeli media report citing Iranian sources. The report follows earlier unverified reports of an overnight explosion in the city.
At 09:52 Jerusalem this morning, ynet, an Israeli news outlet, reported citing Iranian sources that the explosions heard in the central Iranian city of Isfahan are under control. This update follows multiple earlier reports of explosions in Isfahan and Tabriz, which The Zioneer has been tracking since 09:04 Jerusalem.
The Zioneer first reported an explosion in Isfahan at 09:04 Jerusalem (Mon Jul 20), with the cause unclear. Minutes later, at 09:04, we reported a possibility that the blast was a controlled detonation rather than an attack, citing a single Israeli outlet. A subsequent update at 09:04 added reports of additional explosions in Tabriz, according to Iranian reports. The new claim of control comes from the same Israeli outlet, citing Iranian sources, and is the first indication that the incident may be contained.
The Isfahan and Tabriz reports are the latest in a series of unexplained explosions across Iran in recent weeks. The Zioneer has reported similar incidents: on Sat Jul 11, explosions in eastern Iran; Sun Jul 12, explosions in Mesken; Tue Jul 14, explosions in Isfahan again; Wed Jul 15, explosions in Khuzestan; Thu Jul 16, explosions in Zanjan; and Fri Jul 17, explosions in Lorestan. The cause of these incidents remains unclear, and no group has claimed responsibility.
The current claim of control from Iranian sources has not been independently verified. The nature of the explosions—whether attacks, controlled detonations, or accidents—remains unconfirmed. No official statement from Iranian authorities has been released.
