[52960] New documentation: Mysterious explosion near an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base in the city of Shahriar

Dramatic documentation from the Shahriar area

In recent days, video footage from a dashcam was published documenting a powerful explosion that occurred on March 1st (10th of Esfand) near an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) facility in the Kehenz area of Shahriar, Iran. The footage was distributed by the Telegram channels Vahid Online and پیام ایران, which report that the information was only exposed now due to ongoing internet blockages.

According to the report on Vahid Online, the video shows the moment of the explosion as captured from the perspective of a driver who was passing by the scene. The report is accompanied by the eyewitness statement: "אנפجار حمله به سپاه کهنز شهریار از دوربین ماشین. تازه تونستم به اینترنت وصل بشم" (Translation: Explosion of the attack on the Kehenz IRGC [base] in Shahriar from a car camera. I was only just able to connect to the internet).

At the same time, the پیام ایران channel emphasized that the delay in publishing the media, which lasted about two months, stems directly from the authorities' policy of disconnecting communication networks in the area. These channels are generally identified with opposition to the Iranian regime and usually highlight security incidents from within Iran that are sometimes avoided in state media reports.

As of now, no official confirmation has been received from security sources in Iran regarding the nature of the explosion or the damages caused to the IRGC facility in Kehenz, which leaves the event under intelligence and security ambiguity.
