A powerful explosion in Bandar Abbas, Iran, damaged an eight-story building, with reports of at least 4 fatalities. Speculation surrounds the incident, with claims that IRGC Navy commander Alireza Tangsiri was targeted, which has been denied by Tasnim News Agency. The cause is unclear, with some attributing it to a gas leak, while others note the building lacked gas piping. Sounds of explosions were also reported in Ahvaz. The IRGC plans a naval drill in the Persian Gulf, prompting a warning from U.S. CENTCOM.
