The Israeli news site ynet reports that explosions were heard in southern Iran, citing local sources. No further details on cause, casualties, or damage are available yet. The report follows a previous incident of explosions in Dezful, southwestern Iran, as The Zioneer reported earlier this evening.
A new report from the Israeli news site ynet, citing local Iranian sources, indicates that explosions were heard in an unspecified location in southern Iran at around 23:04 Jerusalem time Tuesday evening. The cause and any casualties or damage remain unknown. This marks the latest in a series of unexplained blasts reported across southern Iran tonight, following earlier incidents in the Dezful area.
Earlier Tuesday evening, at 18:46 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported initial explosions at Vahdati Air Base in Dezful, southwestern Iran, based on local accounts describing columns of smoke. Simultaneously, security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported additional explosions in the city of Dezful. At 22:21 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published a further report on explosions in Dezful, again citing Goldblatt. The current ynet report extends the phenomenon to a broader area in southern Iran, though the exact location is not specified. All reports remain unverified by independent sources.
Attributed background: The Zioneer has tracked a wave of explosions in southern Iran since early June. On June 10, local sources reported an explosion near the Iraq border; on June 11, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it was investigating the source of blasts in the region. Another round of explosions was reported on June 28. No group has claimed responsibility for any of these incidents.
What remains open: The cause of tonight's explosions, whether they are related to the earlier Dezful incidents or each other, and any casualties or damage, are not yet known. The reports are based on single sources and have not been independently confirmed.
