Who would do something like this?
— 🇮🇷 BREAKING: Huge explosion of a gas pipeline between the cities of Shahrekord and Borujen in Iran
The explosion and its aftermath are so large that they could be seen from a distance as far away as 60km.

There’s little information at time of writing.
RT:
A large blast has ruptured a natural gas pipeline in central Iran, the Mehr News Agency has reported, citing local officials. Evaluation teams have been dispatched to survey the damage.
The explosion erupted in the early hours of Wednesday near the city of Borujen, some 64km (39 miles) south of the provincial capital of Shahr-e Kord, according to Mehr, which cited the city administration and fire officials.
It’s possible it’s an accident.
But that seems unlikely, given the context.
More likely this is a major escalation by Israel.
