Iranian state media claims that the explosions heard in the city of Andimeshk, southwestern Iran, were controlled demolitions and not an enemy attack, according to reports. The claim follows unverified reports of explosions in the area earlier today. The cause has not been independently confirmed.
Iranian state media has issued a statement claiming that the explosions heard in the city of Andimeshk, southwestern Iran, were controlled demolitions and not the result of an enemy attack. The claim comes hours after unverified reports of explosion sounds in Andimeshk, a city far from the strategic Strait of Hormuz, were first reported by local sources.
As The Zioneer reported earlier tonight (Tuesday, 19:15 Jerusalem), reports of explosions in Andimeshk emerged without immediate details on cause, damage, or casualties. The Iranian media's assertion that the blasts were controlled is the first official explanation. The claim remains unverified and comes from a single source — Iranian state-aligned outlets. No independent confirmation has been provided, and the nature of the controlled explosions — whether routine military or industrial activity — has not been specified.
