A gas leak caused the death of one person and injured ten others at an Iranian Revolutionary Guard centre, Iranian state television reported.

The incident occurred at a Guard workshop in Isfahan province. The injured were transported to a hospital for treatment, but no further details have been provided.

This incident arises amidst continued tensions after the assassination of Hamas’ top political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, on July 31 in Tehran. Iran has blamed Israel for Haniyeh’s death, though no official responsibility has been claimed by Israel. Iranian authorities have vowed retaliation against Israel.

In April, Iranian troops targeted an airbase and nuclear site near Isfahan in a retaliatory strike following Tehran’s drone-and-missile assault on Israel.
