00:30No confirmation yet, but the timing couldn't be more tense.
00:36With nationwide protests shaking Iran and U.S. aircraft carriers moving into the region,
00:42many are asking one question.
00:44Is this an accident, sabotage, or the start of something much bigger?
00:50Early this morning, social media and OSINT accounts began reporting blast sounds near Parchin,
00:57just southeast of Tehran.
00:58Some posts even claimed links to Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
01:03But so far, no official Iranian statement, no IAEA confirmation, and no independent verification.
01:11And that's important, because rumors spread fast, especially during crises like this.
01:18Parchin isn't just any military site.
01:20For decades, Western intelligence agencies have tied it to high-explosive tests used in nuclear weapon development.
01:29In late 2024, Israeli strikes reportedly hit part of the complex, damaging a facility linked to nuclear detonation research.
01:37Recent satellite images suggest Iran may have reinforced and rebuilt, not abandoned, that site.
01:45So if an explosion really did happen here, it raises serious questions.
01:50This comes after massive U.S. and Israeli strikes in 2025 that badly damaged Iran's nuclear infrastructure.
01:58Washington says those attacks set Iran's program back years.
02:02Tehran admits damage, but insists it's rebuilding.
02:08At the same time, Iran has stopped fully disclosing where its enriched uranium is stored.
02:14That's keeping intelligence agencies on edge.
02:16Inside Iran, protests are entering their third week, with reports of a brutal crackdown and thousands killed or detained.
02:26Outside Iran, the U.S. has just deployed the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group to the region.
02:33President Trump says it's about stability, but strike options, including cyberattacks, are reportedly on the table.
02:40Iran, meanwhile, is warning that any intervention will be met with retaliation, and its regional allies are echoing that threat.
02:49If the Parchin explosion is real, analysts say it could be an internal accident, sabotage, or another covert strike.
02:58Or it could be nothing at all.
03:01Right now, no confirmation means no conclusions.
03:04But with protests raging, nuclear sites rebuilding, and warships moving into position, the region feels dangerously close to the edge.
