Mysterious Explosion Reported In Northern Tehran

Just a day after Tehran called for President Trump’s arrest, a mysterious explosion has been reported in the northern part of the capital city, with unconfirmed sources on US social media claiming it might be tied with a strike on an Iranian weapons depot.

Iranian state news reported the explosion, and an ensuing fire. It’s unclear whether the fire has been brought under control.

Footage of the aftermath is circulating on social media.

It follows another mysterious explosion a few days ago that was never explained, though some attributed it to “disposal” of arms.

Leftists have slammed Interpol over its decision to reject Iran’s call for Trump’s arrest, though the administration and its special envoy for Iran dismissed it as pure lunacy and just another cheap publicity stunt from the Middle East’s largest pariah state.

The international police org Interpol claims to be neutral, but just exposed itself as another biased tool of Western imperialist countries, by immediately rejecting Iran’s request for arresting Trump for blatant crimes.

Notably, the explosion occurred one hour after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declared that the end of an Iranian arms embargo would threaten world peace.
