Iran Faces Wave of Mysterious Explosions and Fires Amid Suspicions of Sabotage
In recent days, Iran has experienced a series of mysterious explosions and fires, leading officials to suspect potential sabotage, particularly from Israel. The New York Times reports that Iranian authorities are increasingly pointing fingers at Israel for a wave of incidents across the country, which began following a ceasefire period. Notably, gas explosions in commercial and residential buildings have injured dozens, with at least 18 reported injured at a commercial site in Rasht and seven in a housing complex near Qom. Iranian officials have denied security threats and attributed some blasts to gas leaks, while the public remains skeptical. The situation has raised fears of escalated tensions between Iran and Israel, with speculation about the involvement of Israeli intelligence services such as Mossad. Despite officials dismissing the theory of sabotage for some incidents, the eerie calm following the recent conflict has been disrupted by these unexpected explosions.
