Strange events in #Iran tonight
Looks like a dose of their own medicine with reports of a drone attack on a Ministry of Defence building in the city of #Isfahan.
This is said to be an ammunition production centre.

Media in #Iran also reporting an oil processing plant in the Salimi industrial area in the city of #Azarshahr in #Tabriz is spectacularly ablaze.

And one more video from the crazy scenes in #Iran tonight.
Apparently one more for you too
#Iran #IranRevoIution
Now a video which is impossible to verify.
Allegedly #Iran's air defence shooting things down during the attack tonight.
Many pointing out the Head of the CIA has been in #Israel. If Israel did attack Iran it's unsubtle and I can't see US being pleased.
#Iran - more photos of air defence
The huge fire burning in northern #Iran - presumably the oil terminal in #Tabriz.
Visible from many miles away, gives you an idea of the scale.

#Iran's authorities say no one died and only one person was injured in the fire at the oil refinery.
However a fire truck also managed to be set ablaze while tackling the blaze.
Some reporting the fire at the oil terminal in the northern #Tabriz area of #Iran may have been caused by an earthquake in the region.
Local channels show damage from the reported quake.
Smoke rising in #Iran.
This seems likely connected to the fire at the oil refinery in the north of the country, but I cannot verify it.
Earthquake affecting northern #Iran confirmed by my resident Volcano and Seismic specialist!
So a lot of speculation that the drone which hit an #Iran MOD plant came from #Azerbaijan.
Some channels say yesterday there was apparently an attack on the Azeri embassy there, while today staff appear to be packing up and leaving, though this video is a bit sketchy.
My best guess at this stage is the fires and explosions in the north are purely down to the earthquake.
The strike on #Iran's Ministry of Defence factory is probably not part of a wide attack as most media are speculating.
There are unconfirmed reports of explosions in #Iran at military bases in Hamadan and Kereja.
Another drone factory is also said to have been hit, but again I have no confirmation.
#Iran says 3 people died in the earthquake in #Khoy in the north-west of the country.
Meanwhile the Iranian regime says 3 drones were shot down.
No mention of potential attacks elsewhere.
Photos from the earthquake in north-west #Iran.
A few people saying "it's not a big earthquake", but many buildings in this region are not able to withstand even relatively minor quakes.
I wrote about rumours of explosions in #Hamedan/#Hamadan province.
The best I can find is this blurry video with soundtrack, said to be taken in the city around 300km west of #Tehran.
Doubt anyone can geolocate it nor verify if it is even from today, but could be.

As I've been saying, some of the reported "attacks" or "explosions" in #Iran are just not backed up with evidence (at least yet).
One of these rumours was about #Rasht, which I did not report, but others did. Looks like a fake...
