The fire department in Ahvaz, southwestern Iran, said a blast heard in the city was caused by a domestic gas leak in a two-story residential building in the Khasiyabad neighborhood.

The fire department in Ahvaz, southwestern Iran, stated that a loud explosion heard in the city was caused by a domestic gas leak in a two-story residential building in the Khasiyabad neighborhood. The statement, cited by Israeli security analyst Yair Goldblatt, appears aimed at calming public concern after a series of blast reports across southern Iran in recent hours.
Separately, a Hebrew-language security source reports a new wave of US strikes in Iran, following hours of sustained US operations against air defenses and command centers across southern Iran earlier this week. The Zioneer reported on similar unverified reports of a second wave of US strikes on June 11 and June 28.
The reports remain unverified; Iranian state media has not commented on either the Ahvaz gas leak explanation or the alleged new strikes. The cause of the Ahvaz blast and the scope of any US operations are not yet independently confirmed.
