A huge explosion has rocked a military base west of Iran's capital, Tehran, officials say.

Several people were killed after the blast inside a Revolutionary Guards weapons depot, according to the semi-official Fars news agency, but this has not been confirmed.

Windows in nearby buildings have been shattered and the blast was heard in central Tehran, 40 km (25 miles) away.

A helicopter and ambulances have reportedly been sent to the scene.

Accident? or is something else going on?

BBC NOW SAYING AT LEAST 27 IRANIANS DEAD IN THE BLAST

I just read that Berlusconi is set to resign after the Italian budget deal was passed and thought Monday might be a good day in the market.

This Iranian news has the potential to way overshadow any Italian progress.

Thanks for the news, its the first I've seen of it.

 

[MrBowl]

12 hours later and its still being called accidental and its not getting any attention. Much better than if it is from a conflict.
