Explosions reported near Tabriz radar site

Is Mossad up to its old tricks again? That's the question Geopolitics Watch (TG) puts on the record, via writer Mhedi, after word that two explosions reportedly hit a radar installation near Tabriz in northwestern Iran. The first blast was reported roughly an hour before the second, and eyewitnesses likened the blasts to airstrikes. Iranian authorities say the earlier explosion was the controlled disposal of unexploded ordnance left from previous fighting. No independent confirmation of an attack exists, but as the write-up argues, two separate blasts near a sensitive military radar site would be a huge coincidence. All of this lands as speculation grows over another possible round of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. Trump has publicly ruled out attacking Iran before the vote, yet reports suggest Washington and Israel have discussed plans for renewed military operations.
