A violent explosion took place this morning (Monday) in the city of Gorgan in northern Iran - as reported by the country's media. The authorities and law enforcement bodies confirmed the incident shortly after, and began investigating the circumstances of the incident.
Documents published in the local media show a burnt bone that fell on the road following the explosion - which, according to estimates, may be the remains of a drone. Damage was also reported to shops in the area of the explosion, and many residents said that the windows of their houses and cars were shattered. Many security forces were deployed near the scene, and the circumstances of the aforementioned incident are being investigated.
The current event comes after last week the commander of the Revolutionary Guards, Hossein Salami, sent a threatening message to Israel, claiming that "if you continue to threaten - Tehran will be more aggressive and will make your life shorter." Salami's words were said in response to the words of Mossad head Dedi Barnea, who made it clear that Israel will not stop dealing with the threats that beset it.
"We should not stop dealing with the existential threat of the State of Israel - the victory of 1967 supposedly removed any doubt as to our ability to continue to exist forever," Barnea said. According to him: "Today we know what our role and destiny are. Our strategic focus revolves around an existential threat - we will face it, we will invest in it. We should not underestimate the enemy and his capabilities."
