Shadow War or Infrastructure Collapse?

Simultaneously, nearly 700 miles away in the city of Ahvaz, another massive explosion rocked a four-unit residential complex in the Kianshahr neighborhood. This blast resulted in a higher death toll, with at least five people—including a family of four—reported dead. Ahvaz, a city near the Iraqi border known for its vital role in Iran's oil production, has long been a flashpoint for ethnic tensions and industrial accidents. Like the incident in Bandar Abbas, the Ahvaz explosion was officially blamed on a leak in the city's gas network, but the coincidence of two such devastating "accidents" on the same day fueled widespread skepticism.
