🇮🇷 A powerful explosion reportedly struck a gathering of senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officials in the Beheshti area of Tehran, triggering chaos and unconfirmed reports of deaths and injuries. Eyewitnesses described a scene of panic as ambulances rushed to the site and plumes of smoke filled the city skyline.
The blast allegedly occurred during a high-level IRGC meeting, though Iranian state media has yet to confirm the nature or target of the explosion. No group has claimed responsibility so far, and authorities have not disclosed the number of casualties.
This incident comes amid heightened tensions in Iran following the 12-day war with Israel, which resulted in the deaths of multiple top IRGC commanders and nuclear scientists. The exact cause of the explosion—whether an internal accident, foreign attack, or sabotage—remains under investigation.
The Beheshti district is considered a sensitive area, often used for government and security-related functions. International observers are watching closely for any official response, as the IRGC leadership has vowed retaliation for past losses.
