(Albawaba) -- Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has refuted claims circulating about the assassination of its naval commander after an explosion in Bandar Abbas, a southern Iranian city, as reported by Iranian state media.

Iranian television reported that the blast happened in an eight-story building on Al-Moallem Street, leveling two floors and damaging multiple vehicles and nearby shops. Emergency and firefighting personnel responded promptly, but the cause of the explosion is still a mystery.
