Explosion in Iran’s Bandar Abbas caused by gas leak, official says
Local fire official says gas leak likely caused blast that ripped through residential building in Iranian port city.
Both explosions in Bandar Abbas and Ahvaz were caused by a gas leak, Iranian authorities claimed. The IRGC refuted social media rumors that naval officials died in the blasts.
The US and Israel are denying involvement in the mysterious blasts that killed six and wounded more than a dozen others across Iran Saturday.
Deadly blasts, including one that may have been caused by a gas leak, raised anxiety in the country. “Society is waiting for war,” one Iranian said.
State television said the explosion occurred at an eight-storey building, "destroying two floors, several vehicles, and shops" in the area of Moallem Boulevard in the city.
