Die Serie von Explosionen in strategisch sensiblen Einrichtungen reißt nicht ab. Zwar sind Hintergründe und Ursachen noch nicht eindeutig geklärt. Doch für den Iran steht vor allem ein Land unter Verdacht: Israel.
The explosion rocked the Sepahan Boresh factory in the city of Baqershahr, south of Tehran, in the early hours of Tuesday morning, according to state media.
Satellite photographs show the explosion happened at a missile production facility. Iran said the episode was a gas explosion at a different military base.
A Defense Ministry spokesman said a gas explosion near the Parchin complex had caused no injuries. But the base is also a major military development site.
