The effects of a large explosion in the center of the complex can be clearly seen in satellite images, an analyst wrote in Israel Defense.
Analysis of before and after satellite images of the Parchin military compound in Iran show the telltale signs of “damage consistent with an attack against bunkers in a central locality within the military research complex” analyst Ronen Solomon wrote in a report in Israel Defense. According to Solomon’s report the effects of a large explosion in the center of the complex can be clearly seen in satellite images.
On Monday, an Iranian defense industry told Iranian news agency IRNA that two workers were killed in a fire at an explosives factory in an eastern district of Tehran.
An Iranian opposition website, Saham, described the incident as a strong explosion and said it took place near Iran’s sprawling Parchin military facility, which is located around 30 kilometers (19 miles) southeast of the capital. It did not give a source for its report, which could not be independently verified. Iran’s Defense Industries Organization said the fire broke out on Sunday evening, IRNA said, giving no further detail.
