Explosions in Tehran near a Basij checkpoint injured three people after IEDs detonated on Imam Khomeini Street. Security forces are securing the area amid concerns of additional devices, with no fatalities confirmed so far.

Multiple explosions were reported on Imam Khomeini Street in Tehran, with Iranian media indicating the blasts occurred near a Basij checkpoint in District 10, close to Jeyhoun. According to state-linked Fars News Agency, two homemade explosive devices based on liquefied gas detonated in the area.

At least three people sustained superficial injuries in the incident, with no fatalities reported. Field reports indicate the explosions were not fully effective, but still caused damage, shattering windows in three nearby homes and impacting two vehicles.

Security forces are believed to have neutralized at least one device and are continuing to secure the area amid concerns that additional unexploded items may be present. Authorities are assessing the situation as investigations remain ongoing.

Thank you very much and God bless you.



Foreign media again covering what the US MSM will not. There were multiple rebel attacks on Basij/IRGC checkpoints with IED and small arms. I view this as a good sign that the people of Iran have had a bellyful of the Mullahs.

“The US media is our enemy.”

Yes, it is.

The people revolting in Iran is not part of the approved message.

Rebels? In Tehran? Who was their target?

Pretty weak IED, looks like it'll buff out.

“Rebels? In Tehran? Who was their target?”

Well, the article says it was a Basij checkpoint that was bombed.

So the target must be someone who doesn’t like white cars.

Or maybe, you know, the Basij.

This one wasn’t Mossad. It was the Resistance. The hanging of an innocent woman will accelerate the insurrection.

You call that a significant "rebel attack?!"

To me, sounds like a relatively peaceful weekend in Chicago!

“This one wasn’t Mossad. It was the Resistance.”

Agree. Mossad would have made a better bomb.

Well, here’s to hoping they improve their design for the next checkpoint.

I also think the relative amateur nature of this is a good sign of the depth of the growing resistance. This was clearly just some guy(s) cooking up what he(they) could with what he(they) had.

In the words of The Wizard of Id, “The peasants are revolting.”
