Explosions in Iran: Gas leaks or military rumors?

On Saturday, Iran witnessed multiple blasts across different cities:

• Bandar Abbas: A powerful explosion in a residential building injured 14 and killed a 4-year-old girl. Rumors suggested IRGC Navy Commander Alireza Tangsiri was targeted, but Tasnim News Agency dismissed these claims as “completely false.”

• Ahvaz: Another explosion killed five and injured two, officially attributed to a domestic gas leak.

• Parand & Qom: Reports of smoke and fire circulated, but local officials clarified they were caused by reed and waste fires, not military incidents.

The IRGC denied any drone attacks on its bases, while Israel publicly rejected involvement. These incidents unfold amid postponed naval drills that were to include Iran, Russia, and China.
