Multiple explosions rocked Iran's capital Tehran early Tuesday, sparking widespread alarm just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump declared a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran. The blasts occurred in several districts, with local authorities confirming structural damage but providing no immediate casualty figures.
The incident follows Trump's late-Monday announcement that Israel and Iran had reached a "mutual understanding to de-escalate hostilities." Iranian state media reported emergency services responding to scenes of smoke and debris, while social media footage showed flashes lighting up the night sky.
No group has claimed responsibility for the explosions, which come amid heightened regional tensions. Analysts suggest the timing raises questions about potential links to ongoing diplomatic maneuvers. "This creates immediate challenges for conflict resolution efforts," said Middle East security expert Dr. Amina Farooq. "All parties will need to demonstrate restraint to prevent renewed escalation."
The developments underscore the fragile nature of Middle East geopolitics, with global markets closely watching energy prices. Further updates are expected as investigations progress.
