Huge blast hits arms depot at Iran militar… JPost – Middle East.

    TEHRAN – A massive explosion at a weapons depot on a military base to the west of the Iranian capital Tehran on Saturday killed several people and was felt at least 45 km away, local media reported.

The semi-official Fars news agency carried a statement by the Revolutionary Guards which said the blast happened in an arsenal at a base in Bidganeh, near the city of Karaj. Some people were killed, Fars said, without giving further details.

An October 2010 explosion that killed 18 people at a weapons depot in western Iran near the city of Khoramabad was attributed to the Mossad by French newspaper Le Figaro.

Official Iranian reports stated that the 2010 explosion occurred after a fire broke out in a weapons depot.

Le Figaro also alleged that the explosion occurred at a secret missile site for the long-range Shahab-3, capable of being modified to carry a nuclear payload and striking Israel.
