While tension between Iran and Israel continues, it has been reported that loud explosion sounds were heard in Isfahan, the third largest city in Iran.
According to Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency, three explosion sounds were heard in the Sepahan region, which is connected to Isfahan.
CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION IS TRAINING ACTIVITY While the images of the explosions were shared on social media, Isfahan Deputy Governor Muhammad Riza Cansari stated that the explosions were caused by a training activity. No detailed information was shared about the subject.
IRAN-ISRAEL TENSION There is tension between Iran and Israel due to the genocide committed by Israel in Gaza, which has been under occupation since October 7. Most recently, tension escalated between Iran and Israel after the assassination of Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Lebanon.
HANIYEH ASSASSINATION Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was in Tehran to attend the inauguration ceremony of Iranian President Mahmoud Pezeshkian. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards announced in a statement on July 31 that an attack was carried out on Haniyeh's residence in Tehran. Iran and the Hamas Movement held Israel responsible for the cowardly assassination.
Ismail Haniyeh Ismail Haniyeh, born in a refugee camp in Gaza in 1962, has been an important figure since the establishment of Hamas. Haniyeh, who has been imprisoned by Israel many times, survived an assassination attempt by Israel in 2003. Three years later, after Hamas won the elections, Haniyeh briefly served as the Prime Minister of Palestine. In 2017, he was elected as the head of Hamas' political bureau. Haniyeh led the Hamas delegation in negotiations mediated by Qatar, the United States, and Egypt.
