There isn't much more than a headline right now, so the excerpt is short. Some sources on Twitter are saying it was at a military base and others are saying it was at a power plant.

Here is a video of the explosion: https://twitter.com/HAbdolhossein/status/1276274922743087105

What do they eat in Tehran? Maybe it was one of those international cooking shows.

UPDATE - Reports that the explosion in Iran happened at Parchin, a military base where Iran has conducted nuclear activity. No official comment, yet.

Their fuel rods were made in Russia with graphite tips...

There are ‘explosive test chambers” at Parchin which back in the middle of the Obama admin Iran had tried to ‘sanitize.’

.... Deferring a resolution to the Parchin issue
Iran built “a large explosives containment vessel or chamber at the Parchin military complex in 2000 to conduct high-explosive and hydrodynamic experiments related to the development of nuclear weapons,” according to the Institute for Science and International Security, which notes that possible high-explosive bunkers were detected at the site as late as 2004.

But because Parchin is considered a military facility, it has been closed off to IAEA inspectors for a decade.

Parchin is therefore a crucial location in determining the extent of Iran’s weapons program.

Will inspectors be allowed in? We don’t know yet: The road map simply says “Iran and the IAEA agreed on another separate arrangement regarding the issue of Parchin.” .... /snip

Those clever Israelis.

Just those crazy kids celebrating the Fourth Of July a little early. Happens around here all the time.

The Parchin munitions/nuclear weapon site (mostly underground, as evidenced by multiple acres of spoil dirt piles)...

...is just 23 miles ESE (300 degrees) from the center of Tehran.

At upper left is a small section (<10%) of a huge array of munitions storage bunkers...
