Iran Suspects Mysterious Explosions are the Work of Israel
Iran suspects that the "mysterious" explosions that have occurred in the country over the past weeks are the work of Israel, reports the New York Times.
For weeks, Iran has been reporting almost daily incidents of fires and explosions.
The Iranian authorities believe that what is happening is part of a coordinated campaign.
For more than two weeks, mysterious explosions and fires have been occurring in Iran, damaging residential complexes, oil refineries, a road near a major airport, and even a shoe factory.
A European official involved with Iran has also assessed the attacks as acts of sabotage, suspecting Israeli involvement based on its historical actions in Iran as a form of psychological warfare and for targeting destruction.
Several incidents have occurred at strategic infrastructure locations, such as the fire at a major oil refinery in the southern city of Abadan on Saturday, which claimed one life, injured many, and shut down production lines. Others, like explosions in residential buildings and factories, contribute to a sense of chaos and instability.
Iranian authorities are cautious about publicly alleging Israel's possible involvement in these incidents, as they claim Iran does not want to corner itself into seeking revenge against Israel.
