At least 14 people were killed and several others were wounded in central Damascus on Wednesday morning in an explosion on a Syrian military bus, Syrian state TV reported.
According to additional reports from Syrian and Lebanese outlets, the casualties were Iranian officers.
Syrian state TV showed footage of the charred bus, reporting that the blasts occurred while people were heading to work and school.
As of yet, according to the reports, no organization has claimed responsibility for the blast, which occurred at a main bus-transfer point under the Hafez al-Assad bridge, where vehicles converge and head out to different neighborhoods of the capital.
Two explosive devices reportedly went off as the bus was on the bridge, the reports said, adding that a third device was defused by an army engineering unit.
The explosion was the deadliest in Damascus in years. It was also a rare occurrence in recent years, since the capture by Syrian government forces of suburbs formerly held by Sunni Islamist insurgents in the country’s decade-long conflict.

Alternative fuels.

What do you call 14 dead Iranian Army officers killed in a bus blast?
“Two explosive devices reportedly went off as the bus was on the bridge, the reports said, adding that a third device was defused by an army engineering unit.”
I doubt Israel would have a dud that didn’t work. Also, a dud can be analyzed for origin clues.
Probably spontaneous combustion due to climate change.
Iranian officers killed going to school in Syria.

Ceiling Spackle?
Every Iranian military man stationed in Syria should be targeted. It would cause trouble in Teheran.

14 people sorry they didn’t use the magic flying carpet
“A good start!”
Poor Iran. Their military officers and nuclear scientists seem to have the worst luck.
Probably a US Operation and they were all supposed to be diffused but two went off on accident because they used different color wires on each bomb.
A good start.
It blowed up real good.
