Iran Says Eastern Tehran Blast Was Ammunition Disposal

Iranian state media said a blast heard in eastern Tehran province on Saturday came from the controlled disposal of ammunition left from the war, citing a local official. Residents in Pakdasht and Qiyamdasht had reported hearing an explosion before the source was clarified. Officials said the operation posed no danger to civilians and that no incident had occurred. The update matters to Israel and regional partners because every blast report inside Iran now moves through the same information environment shaped by U.S.-Israeli strikes, Iranian retaliation and Tehran's effort to control public narratives during the Hormuz escalation.
