A devastating chain reaction of explosions and seismic activity near Iran's Fordow nuclear facility has left five people dead and 87 injured, marking a dramatic escalation in the Israel-Iran conflict that has now seen strikes on all three of Iran's primary nuclear sites.
The incident, which occurred today, involved a 2.5-magnitude earthquake near Qom, close to the Fordow Nuclear Power Plant, coinciding with what witnesses described as powerful explosions. A separate 4.3-magnitude tremor struck southeastern Sistan and Baluchestan province near the Pakistan border, adding to the chaos.
