Fires and explosions erupting in various locations throughout Iran. The Islamic Republic is weak. They are hated. This is likely a prelude to something. Me thinks the IRGC is about to enter the “find out” portion of the FAFO equation. pic.twitter.com/MMybHXSvIA

The Times of Israel adds:

On Sunday, a series of explosions were reported in Iran, with videos circulating on social media of purported blasts and fires in the Iranian cities of Mashhad and Qom.

Some of the reports said the blast in Mashhad occurred at a factory.

It is unclear what caused the earth-shattering kabooms.

These reported blasts came just a week after a massive explosion occurred at the Shahid Rajaee port near Bandar Abbas in southern Iran, which was reportedly caused by a chemical component needed for solid fuel for ballistic missiles — something denied by authorities though they’ve not explained the source of the power that caused such destruction. Last week’s explosion killed at least 70 people and injured more than 1,000, authorities said.
