Iran's "Breaking News Agency" reported that people saw fires and thick plumes of smoke coming from a place where rocket equipment from an IRGC Aerospace Force unit was thought to be kept. The event happened near a known rocket base, but the exact location that was hit is still unknown. Iran's government has not yet made a public comment about what started the fire, how bad the damage was, or whether any secret sites or missile stores were involved. The accident is the latest in a string of strange fires and accidents that have happened at important military and economic sites across Iran. People are wondering if there is mischief going on or if there are problems within the organization, but no one has been officially named. — Lala News & Stuff (@lala515711) August 5, 2025 People are more interested and worried because officials haven't given any quick answers. This is especially true since emotions are still high in the area. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Despite relentless aggression, none of the strikes managed to target the actual capabilities of this program. So, what options does this aggression have left against Iran after deploying its most powerful weapons and arsenal without achieving any of its goals?Moreover, this war revealed the greatness and significance of Iran's missile capabilities, while exposing the utter failure of the Zionist enemy in neutralizing or weakening them. On the contrary, Iran's Aerospace Force achieved remarkable success by testing multiple missile systems during the conflict, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy—including the destruction of several key military and strategic the enemy may have targeted some of Iran's military and scientific leaders, it failed to destabilize Iran's internal security.

Meanwhile, the enemy lost its operational tools and tactics, which are now fully exposed to Iranian 12 days, it is clear that the Israeli entity emerged from the battle defeated and weakened—both internally, regionally, and internationally. In contrast, Iran emerged more cohesive domestically and internationally, a fact evident when comparing the political scenes in Iran and the occupying entity. The Iranian people united behind their leadership, while the opposite occurred in was an Iranian victory because the experience fortified Iran with greater strength, resilience, and the ability to confront and maneuver on regional and international fronts. It also heightened domestic public awareness as the true nature of the enemy was exposed to the skeptics and as we witness the fires, ruin, and devastation across the occupying entity, we are reminded of its ongoing crimes against our people in the Gaza Strip. For over 21 months, it has waged an open war against nearly two million Palestinians, committing daily atrocities—killing, starving, dehydrating, and destroying all means of life—while the world watches in silence. It has violated all human values and flouted international laws and humanitarian still, it has shamelessly exploited so-called aid distribution centers, run by an Israeli-American company, turning them into death traps where hungry civilians are massacred daily. As of Tuesday, 516 martyrs have been killed at the gates of these centers, with over 3,000 injured and 39 enemy in human history has surpassed the Israeli entity in sheer barbarity and crimes against humanity. Today, the Gaza Strip stands as a glaring testament to Israel's blatant violation of human civilization's most basic principles.
