The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement early Thursday morning confirming that explosions were heard in the city of Pardis, Tehran province, following the activation of air defense systems in the Parchin military complex area. The IRGC stated there were no casualties and that air defense units remain on standby. This is the first official Iranian confirmation of an incident in the ongoing series of reported air defense activations and explosions across Iran over the past 48 hours. As The Zioneer reported earlier tonight, unverified claims from Iranian opposition channels reported at least 10 explosions at the Parchin complex and an explosion at the IRGC's Khatam al-Anbia base in north Tehran. The cause of the latest activation remains unclear, and no independent verification is available. The reports add to a pattern of unexplained security incidents at sensitive military and nuclear sites in Iran.
