A powerful explosion shook the Beheshti area in southern Tehran on Monday, Iran,during what is believed to have been a meeting of senior commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Although details remain scarce and Iranian authorities haven't issued official confirmations, multiple sources have reported fatalities and injuries as a result of the incident.
Eyewitnesses in the area reported that the explosion was followed by a thick column of smoke rising over the city's sky, prompting a swift response from emergency services.
Ambulances were seen rushing to the scene, which suggests a major event. Videos and images of the dense smoke are circulating on social media, although so far they haven't been independently verified.
According to initial unconfirmed reports, the blast occurred during a high-level meeting between IRGC commanders, one of the most powerful and strategic military institutions of the Iranian regime.
This force, responsible for both internal security and external operations, is considered key to the power structure in Tehran. If the presence of senior commanders at the scene is confirmed, the political and military impact could be considerable.
So far, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, and Iranian authorities also haven't provided an official explanation regarding the cause of the explosion. It is unknown whether it was a targeted attack, an accident, or a technical failure, although the sensitivity of the target suggests the possibility of a deliberate action.
The lack of official information has fueled speculation in an already tense regional context marked by indirect clashes between Iran and Israel, as well as tensions with the United States and other regional powers.
It is also recalled that Tehran has previously been the scene of targeted attacks against key figures in the Iranian nuclear and military program, both by opposition groups and foreign actors.
Meanwhile, the population remains on alert and social media has been filled with theories, although many lack verification. Iranian authorities are expected to issue a statement in the coming hours to clarify what happened.
If it is confirmed that the attack targeted the leadership of the Revolutionary Guard, this event could significantly escalate the country's internal and external tensions.
