Another Boom in Iran: Power Station
[Independent] An Iranian power plant has been hit by an explosion, the country’s official news agency has reported.

There were no casualties after the blast in the central Isfahan province, according to IRNA.

It was caused by the wear and tear of a transformer, the managing director of the Isfahan power company told the news agency.
unlike some of the other explosions, this one may well be non sabotage event
Or Insh'Allah maintenance
Power was interrupted for two hours, he said.

There have been several explosions and fires around Iranian military, nuclear and industrial facilities since late June.
there was a pipeline explosion on 18 July which was only lightly reported
We have that one here. :-)

#1 Funny the amount of explosions and destructive mayhem you can have in a concentrated period without any real casualties. Well done...somebody.

#2 Hard to keep your infrastructure up to snuff when you're spending all your spare cash on a nuke program.

#3  when you're spending all your spare cash on a nuke program.

...and financing an increasing number of proxy wars.
