Iran is experiencing many mysterious explosions
At least 8 people were killed and more than 15 injured, while others remain under the rubble as a result of two separate explosions at industrial and commercial sites in Iran, according to the “Iran International” website.
The deadliest explosion occurred on Sunday morning, in the old part of Ahwaz, the capital of the oil-producing province of Khuzestan, killing 6 people and wounding 9 others separately, as emergency personnel try to reach possible survivors. .
According to officials, the explosion was caused by a possible gas leak at a house near the Amiri business district.
