Initial reports of an explosion off the coast of Azerbaijan in the Caspian Sea, possibly Umid gas field.
Video #2
Absolutely devastating explosion. Will try and get more videos for different angles.
SOCAR representative on Facebook just deleted his earlier statement which said the cause was likely a mud volcano, and has reposted it without that statement.
Pretty hectic image from the explosion. (ht @Archer83Able)
@Archer83Able Per @cavidaga, the Head of the Dept of Mud Volcanism of ANAS, Adil Aliyev, stated there is no mud volcanoes in the area, an explosion on a ship is a possibility.

Explosion happened 10-12km from Umid Gas Field says Ahmadov.
Turkish media outlet Anadolu Agency had a reporter claim that the explosion happened on board a tanker, that claim is yet to be confirmed, but the statement from Aliyev suggests it could be possible.
Video from a rig in the Umid gas field. Fire can be seen in the distance. Lines up with reports that the explosion was 10-12km away.
Azerbaijan Ministry of Extraordinary Situations says no emergencies occurred at offshore oil infrastructure or industrial facilities. Investigation into the incident is underway. (ht @cavidaga)
@cavidaga Ministry of Emergency Situations*, not the 1994 Russian department 😅

According to the Washington Post, U.S. officials have relayed to #Iran thru diplomatic channels that it will respond forcefully to rocket attacks, even if no Americans are killed or injured. Biden's red line on these attacks is a stark difference to his predecessor. In the --
previous administration, the Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense made it clear that their red line was the killing of Americans as a result of rocket attacks from #Iran-backed groups in Syria and Iraq.

Biden's stance is significantly more tough.
A U.S. official said to the WaPo that it has a responsibility to demonstrate that attacking Americans carries consequences, even if the attacks don't inflict casualties.

The official said, "If you attack us, we are going to respond."
