Original Note:
The claim that the explosions in Iran is linked to Israel is baseless and unverified. It's unknown what caused the explosions and who stands behind it. The strike in Lebanon targeted and killed the Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri, while also killing 6 other Hamas members. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Saleh_al-Arouri https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iran-media-report-explosion-near-guards-commander-soleimanis-tomb-anniversary-2024-01-03/ https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/middle-east/iran-eastern-states/1704283321-iranian-media-reports-explosion-near-soleimani-s-tomb-on-anniversary-of-irgc-commander-s-death
