Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Israeli munition from 12-day war explodes in Iran, reportedly killing one

Spontaneously. Yeah — that’s the ticket.
[IsraelTimes] Munition left from Israel’s war with Iran earlier this year exploded on Tuesday in the Islamic Republic’s west, killing one person, state media says.

Official news agency IRNA says that “unexploded ordnance of the Zionist regime” detonated near the city of Beyranshahr, in Lorestan province of western Iran.

“The incident left one person dead and nine people injured,” it adds, quoting a Revolutionary Guards statement.

The 12 days of fighting in June saw Israel bomb Iranian nuclear and military sites as well as residential areas, killing more than 1,000 people, including senior commanders and nuclear scientists.

Iran retaliated with missile and drone attacks that killed dozens in Israel.

The United States, which briefly joined the war by striking Iranian nuclear sites, announced a halt in fighting on June 24.

While the hostilities ended, there was no agreement formalizing the ceasefire.

Iranian officials have since maintained that Tehran remains ready in case another confrontation breaks out with its sworn enemy, Israel.

On Sunday, Yahya Rahim Safavi, a military adviser to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, told local media the country was “preparing plans for the worst-case scenario.”
