Nov 12 – The head of the public relation office of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, General Reza Sharif says that the massive explosion at the Guards’ base in Southwest of the capital was not in connection with any nuclear test or due to transport of missile war heads.

He rejected some reports by foreign media claiming the blast was due a nuke test but did not name the source.

Sharif said the IRGC personnel were transporting ammunitions when the explosion happened. This is the second major blast at IRGC bases in Iran within about one year.

In October 2010 a similar explosion happened at Imam-Ali base near Khorram-Abad in Western Iran which killed 18 IRGC members injuring 14.

The official explanation said making fire close to an ammunition depot has ignited the blast. Mehr news agency reporting from the blast site near Tehran says that fire was still not under control hours after the incident and that smoke has covered several kilometers around the base./-
