Salafi groups based in the border areas of Iran and Afghanistan carried out the sabotage attacks against Iran’s natural gas pipelines, @IranIntl
has learned.
The groups who are opposed to the Taliban and the Islamic Republic of Iran, have probably carried out the attacks using drones, according to reports obtained by @IranIntl.
The explosions have not left casualties but have cut off the natural gas of state institutions and offices of Zanjan, North Khorasan, and West Azarbaijan provinces until further notice.

Iran’s primary north-south gas pipeline suffered two explosions, which were caused by sabotage per the oil minister. The explosions occurred between 1am and 1:30am local time Wednesday morning, in two separate regions of the nation.

Roads around the impacted areas were closed for hours, as significant fires broke out and some structures were affected.

Gas restrictions for several regions have been announced as a result of the explosions, and some nearby schools were also closed.

A large explosion was observed near the Iranian city of Shahriar, near the capital Tehran, on Thursday evening, according to local media and footage shared on social media.

Two aircraft flying from Lithuania to Asian islands ‘suddenly’ landed in Tehran: were they purchased by sanctioned Iran?

On February 29, 2024, two Airbus A340 passenger aircraft with reg. numbers C5-MIA and C5-MIC departed from Lithuanian Siauliai airport, flying to Sri Lanka and the Philippines.

According to open sources, both of these aircraft were owned by the leasing company Macka Invest Company at least in 2022 and had been in storage in Siauliai for exactly two years.

On February 29, 2024, they departed from Lithuania with a difference of only 12 minutes, at 14:08 and 14:22, and then, after 17:00 UTC, both aircraft ‘disappeared’ over the territory of Iran: one – near Tehran, the other - near Chabahar in the south of Iran.

It’s possible that these aircraft were transferred/sold to Iran to circumvent sanctions imposed on it. Moreover, earlier we have repeatedly recorded a similar situation with aircraft that departed from Belarus.

We think that this publication will be interesting for the Lithuanian aviation authorities, especially taking into account that the 3rd aircraft of this company is still in Siauliai at the moment.
