01 · THE DISPATCH

Iranian authorities are attributing the explosion at the Konarak naval base to a controlled detonation of leftover ammunition, according to reports cited by Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The claim comes a day after unconfirmed reports of a blast at the base in southern Iran. The cause and any casualties remain unverified. The Zioneer has previously reported on a series of unexplained explosions across Iran, including at military and militia sites, though the Konarak incident's connection to those events is not established.
