🇮🇷⚡- Initial reports of an explosion in Mashhad, Iran.

🇮🇷⚡- Confirmed: An explosion occured at a motorcycle factory, leading to a large, currently uncontrolled, fire - Mashhad, Iran.

🇮🇷⚡- Masshad City Fire Department is on site and confirms the fire is spreading rapidly.

🇮🇷⚡- A second explosion in Qom, central Iran. Details unknown yet.

🇮🇷 - Rerum Novarum have geolocated the Qom fire footage to approximately 34.8369444, 50.9177778 - one of the warehouses in northeast of Mamhood Abad Industrial City, Qom, Iran.

Interestingly, the industrial sector is closed off to the general public, and has greatly expanded over recent years. Most of the warehouses remain unidentified. Unlike the neighbouring Shokohieh Industrial City, and any other industrial sector, Mahmood Abad lacks any sort of transportation link that you would normally expect to have to move cargo around. The closest highway, Route 7, is an incredible 5 km away.

What's more interesting is that the Fordow Nuclear Facility is less than 9km from this site, as well as two radar bases and and air defense base (for obvious reasons, we have not marked the bases on this map). Therefore, it's likely the warehouses are storage facilities for the bases and nuclear enrichment site.

🇮🇷 - Rerum Novarum have geolocated the Mashhad fire to 36.3876780, 59.5133354, a factory owned by Tizpar Toos, Mashhad, Iran.

From satellite imagery, the facility seems to have one large, open hanger filled with cars and bikes. It also has three smaller warehouses. The Tizpar Toos factory is owned by Tizpar Technical, which according to the UN, is a front for Shahid Hemat Industrial Group, SHIG.

The company has been sanctioned by the UK, Australia and the EU in 2010, and by Japan in 2022 for being linked to Iran's nuclear program - linked to Iran's "proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities or development of Iran's nuclear weapons delivery systems".
