Reports from Iran indicate a large fire is now burning in the city of Karaj, west of Tehran, according to a single source. The nature and cause of the blaze remain unclear, and no casualties or damage have been reported.
This follows earlier reports from the same area — at 19:38 Jerusalem time, The Zioneer cited reports of thick smoke over Karaj, with local sources suggesting a fire suspected. The current bulletin, at 21:06, describes a fire still raging, suggesting the incident is ongoing.
The broader context includes previous incidents in the Karaj area. The Zioneer has reported on an explosion outside a home in Karaj on June 11, and earlier this evening, Iranian media reported intense aerial activity over Karaj and western Tehran. However, no direct link between those events and the current fire has been established. The situation remains unverified by independent sources.
