TEHRAN – An informed source in the Iranian Armed Forces on Sunday ruled out any link between the loud blasts heard in western parts of the country in the early hours of Sunday and military activities.
“The sounds heard (in western provinces) have nothing to do with the activities of the Armed Forces and testing of air defense systems,” the source told Tansim. He also denied reports attributing the sounds to the acts of sabotage or foreign attacks, saying the main source of the sounds was “thunder and lightning” in western areas of Iran.
