Iranian officials are investigating a wave of near-daily fires and explosions across the country, which some believe may be acts of sabotage linked to Israel, though no evidence has been publicly provided.
Several incidents targeted key infrastructure, including an oil refinery in Abadan, intensifying public anxiety and speculation. Officials have attributed most events to gas leaks and aging infrastructure but failed to provide convincing explanations.
The pattern has stirred doubts among citizens about the end of the recent war with Israel and raised suspicions of ongoing covert operations, according to news reports.
Iran is reluctant to officially accuse Israel to avoid being pressured into retaliation, despite severe damage to its military infrastructure during the 12-day war in June.
Meanwhile, Tehran has agreed to allow an IAEA technical team to visit for talks on a new cooperation mechanism, but not to inspect nuclear sites.
President Masoud Pezeshkian reaffirmed Iran’s commitment to its nuclear program, emphasizing readiness for any Israeli military action. Separately, Iran reported intercepting a U.S. destroyer near its waters and continues nuclear consultations with Moscow and Beijing.
