Explosion in Iran injures seven

(Web Desk): A powerful explosion in a residential building in Pardisan, a residential area in the Iranian city of Qom, has injured seven people.

According to the semi-official Iranian news agency Fars News, preliminary investigations suggest that the explosion was caused by a gas leak.

The head of Qom’s fire department told Fars News: "Four residential units were damaged in the explosion. Initial assessments indicate that the incident occurred due to a gas leak, but investigations are still ongoing."

He further clarified that the building was occupied by ordinary civilians and the explosion was not the result of an Israeli attack.

Following a 12-day war between Iran and Israel last month, several explosions have occurred across the country. However, officials have not blamed Israel for these incidents.

A senior Iranian official stated: "People should not be alarmed by rumors. If the country were attacked by an enemy, the news would be immediately shared with the public, and alarm bells would be ringing in the occupied territories as well."

Given the ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel, the incident has drawn significant attention, but authorities have described it as an accidental event.
