Explosion and Fire on Shahran Boulevard, Tehran; Drone Strike Claimed but Disputed

A video circulated showing fire on Shahran Boulevard in Tehran early Sunday morning, initially described as a drone strike on a Basij checkpoint and motorcycles at 12:04 AM local time. The footage, captured near a mosque, was shared by Vahid Online. Subsequent reports and viewer comments suggest the blaze may instead have been caused by fuel flowing through street gutters, similar to a confirmed fuel-fire incident on nearby Kuhsar Boulevard. The original sender acknowledged the uncertainty and noted they were unable to independently verify the cause of the fire.
