Iranian fire department officials reported early Wednesday that a gas leak at a residential building in the Narmak neighborhood in eastern Tehran caused an explosion. The spokesperson said there were no casualties and no damage. The official statement follows unverified reports from Iranian social media and local sources at 01:48 Jerusalem time that reported explosions heard in the same area. Earlier tonight, The Zioneer reported unverified reports of explosions in east Tehran (Narmak) and Bushehr, citing Iranian sources. The fire department's explanation now provides an official attribution for the blast, though independent verification is not yet available. This incident occurs amid a broader pattern of explosion reports across Iran in recent weeks, including several that were later attributed to gas leaks, accidents, or infrastructure failures, as well as others linked to Israeli strikes. The current report from the fire department presents the event as a domestic accident. The Zioneer will continue to monitor for further updates.
