Huge Industrial Explosion In Iran Sparks Panic, Protest-Related Speculation
A large explosion initially under mysterious circumstances has rocked Iran. Regional media has identified the location of the blast, which released a small mushroom cloud high into the air, in Amol, northern Iran. The timing couldn't be worse, as it unleashed some degree of panic in the country when it happened Monday afternoon.
It reportedly occurred at Kalleh dairy factory, which is one of the largest dairy producers in Iran, with the mayor of Amol telling Mazandaran Broadcasting Agency that the fire and explosion was sparked by accident due to repairs and a welding fire.
