The building was associated with the Iranian Armed Forces near Chitgar Lake in western Tehran, unconfirmed reports said.

The blast reportedly occurred at a Judiciary Tower located in the Chitgar area, a complex reportedly under the control of Iran's military establishment.

While the cause of the explosion has not yet been officially confirmed, unofficial sources suggest a possible gas leak as the reason behind the incident.

Local emergency services rushed to the scene shortly after reports surfaced on social media, but no official casualty figures or damage assessments have been released so far.
