Two explosions hit IRGC base in Tehran 

Two explosions rattled the Malek Ashtar base of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard’s paramilitary force Basij militia in the southeast of the capital Tehran late Friday, Report informs, citing Iran International.

Videos shared on social media showed fire and smoke billowing from the base.

In a statement, the exiled Iranian opposition group Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK) claimed the attack was carried out by “revolutionary cells," a term it often uses to characterize anti-regime acts and protests in Iran. The group, which used large-scale violence in the 1980s and 1990s in its fight against the Islamic Republic, later distanced itself from armed attacks.
