There has been a spate of mysterious fires and explosions across Iran in recent weeks. Naturally the Iranians suspect, with reason, that agents of Israel are responsible. But Iran doesn’t dare to accuse Israel publicly, because that would then require that Iran respond with an attack on the Jewish state, and then Israel would answer back with a far more devastating attack. In fact, Israel may well be engaging in sabotage in order to prevent Iran from renewing its aggressive campaign against Israel, thus giving Israel all the excuse it needs to renew its bombing campaign against the Islamic Republic, further damaging those nuclear sites that Jerusalem now believes were not completely destroyed during the June attacks by both the IDF and the Americans.
More on these mysterious explosions across Iran can be found here: “Iranian officials claim Israel behind series of mysterious fires, explosions – report,” Jerusalem Post, July 23, 2025:
Iranian officials quietly claim that many of the recent mysterious explosions and fires that have broken out in the last two weeks were acts of sabotage by Israel, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Iranian government officials believe these acts of sabotage come directly from Israel, but, according to the report, are not permitted to discuss it publicly. In public, officials have claimed the events are coincidences or attributed them to old infrastructure.
NYT cited three Iranian officials, including a member of the IRGC, who said they believe that many of the fires were “acts of sabotage.” However, the officials did not provide evidence to back up suspicions, and NYT noted that officials who spoke publicly blamed gas leaks, garbage fires, and old infrastructure for the explosions.
Iranian authorities are hesitant to openly accuse Israel of involvement, fearing it could force them into a position where they would have to retaliate, according to the report….
A Persian-language X/Twitter account that styles itself as Israel’s Mossad, but has never been publicly acknowledged by the agency, addressed the explosions in a post.
“Explosion after explosion. Someone needs to check what’s going on there. Too many random incidents are happening.”
And then another taunt follows: “Perhaps Iran should ask their allies Houthis to stop their terror acts on the global maritime commerce. Just a thought.”
The daily reports of explosions and fires throughout Iran are intended to keep the regime alarmed and off balance. It has been unable to stop the sabotage, unable to find the saboteurs, though it has rounded up hundreds of people who it accuses of being “Zionist agents.” Despite those dragnets of suspects, the sabotage continues unabated. Clearly, these agents of Israel, some of whom are Israelis and others Iranians, are now operating with total impunity throughout the country. Finally, the regime must hold back from publicly accusing Israel of being responsible for the sabotage, because if it did, the Iranian public would then expect the braggart warriors in Tehran, who keep claiming they are ready to again make war on Israel, to strike the hated Zionist enemy. And this is something the Iranian rulers dare not do, for fear of the IDF’s response.
So for now, they must continue to silently endure the sabotage, implausibly ascribing all those fires and explosions across Iran to “gas leaks, garbage fires, and old infrastructure.” Or they may decide to lay the blame for those attacks on “internal dissidents, unconnected to the Zionist entity.”

If the Israelis are indeed doing anything, why not just stage the assassination of Khamenei? Once he’s gone, it will be a major watershed – something like the toppling of Saddam Hussein next door

The Iranians have fought well in the overall grand scheme of things. The whole world has turned on Israel. Young White women are even calling for river to the sea, and saying Israel don’t even have a right to exist m. And it’s definitely not isolated to the left.
I just think people are extremely uninformed about the world, they aren’t putting Gaza into context about how the wars were I. Yemen Syria Sudan etc. a lot worse, but nobody says much about that…
The Jewish Israeli strategy is extremely antiquated, mostly focusing on attacking people as anti semites, they don’t have nearly the pull they once had with their pressure groups.
Europe will begin to pull away from Israel as it must placate its powerful Islamic population, who essentially gets the Europeans to conform to every demand. The young westerners side with Muslims, openly and in majority and against Israel.
Israel is in a tough spot, they can’t win this war, and if they withdraw it will be a heroic victory that will set the stage in the future to rearm and fight a isolated Israel with more proxies and nations.

Congratulations every single thing you wrote was wrong, at a way!!!!
Chuck Liddell 900 says
Ok, show me a single poll in the west Israel has positive approval. I’ll wait.
The Muslims have turned the world, the west against Israel. Fresh out today, 80 percent of Germans don’t agree with you.
Even MAGA has turned. Marjorie green, Tucker, michael savage , Alex jones

Israel being a democracy and defending herself is not “antiquated”–she is not going to become a Jihad terror state, even if some consider this “hip”.
Chuck Lidell 900 says
I just don’t think you understand the Islamic population. They want Israel all killed. The only thing holding back their militaries doing a 1967 is their corrupt gubments.
They don’t like the consequences of what the west would do. Do they sit by. But Erdogan is boiling inside.
The western population is turning on Israel big time due to a lot of misinformed people informing much more misinformed people. Israel’s presence on social media is very poor, they stick to antiquated methods. IE, just call people anti Semitic. But nobody cares about that label anymore. And nobody believes mark levin and Ben Shapiro.
Truth

Yes, of course I understand that Jihadists want Israel destroyed.
But the idea that democratic Israel is “antiquated” bcause they haven’t found a way to win ovr those Jihadists is mistaken. There will always be those who hate Jews, no matter what they do. I don’t th8nk that appeasing antisemites would somehow work better.
Chuck Liddell 900 says
No, antiquated in their messaging in the west and America. People have turned on Israel in USA, and Israel has no clue how to respond except anti semitism labeling. This in turn fuels more anti Israel once you see people labeled. That strategy is played out, everyone knows it but the Israel supporters here.

Seems you are a big fan of the Mullahs and how *well* they have threatened to “wipe Isael off the map”.
It is true that civilized posters at Jihad Watch do not generally laud this. Too bad they are not as ‘up to date’ as you are…
Chuck Liddell 900 says
You can keep living in a netanyahoo fantasy land, but the truth is these hamonsters just respawn every time you kill them. There is no path to win, because the west won’t let Israel win.
In any scenario where Hamas is not destroyed, Israel lost. European countries will recognize Palestine as it is. There is no strategy at the moment they’re just prowling around and randomly shooting.
The only way to win, is to wipe it out ruthlessly. Not gonna happen. They’re even feeding the enemy. Hamas just restocks.
You don’t understand how much food was stolen from the UN. They could feed Hamas decades. Every one that dies, one more respawns.

Iran’s infrastructure failing due to bad maintenance. Collapsing on itself. Whatever is causing these random acts in Iran, Iran has brought it upon itself.
Of course they will blame anyone or thing before stating they failed.
OLD GUY says
Just maybe the people of Iran have had enough of their current leadership and are sabotaging the regime from within. Nice thought.
gravenimage says
This is probably part of it–but I think there are too many incidents for this just to be poor maintenance.

Am Ende wird sich die Welt in einen freien, demokratischen, der Aufklärung und den Menschenrechten verpflichtenden und marktwirtschaftlich ausgerichteten Teil und in einen unfreien, konformistischen, religiösen, totalitären Teil aufspalten.
Mir fällt die Wahl, in welchem Teil der Welt ich leben und gedeihen möchte, nicht schwer.

Klingt, als würdet ihr in den Scharia-Teil der Welt geraten. Die Deutschen werden zusehen, wie immer mehr Menschen ins Land strömen. Sie werden das System überfordern, und Kapital wird abfließen, wie ihr es euch nicht vorstellen könnt. Dort wird es verrückt werden. Ihr werdet nicht bereit sein, die Millionen und Abermillionen sehr anspruchsvoller Muslime zu unterstützen. Es wird gewalttätige Proteste geben, um an ihr Geld zu kommen.
