(AP Photo/Vahid Salemi) See 1 more photo A "huge explosion" is being reported in the Iranian city of Isfahan, home to one of Iran's primary uranium-enrichment facilities, reports the Telegraph. Reports are conflicting—ranging from an explosion at a gas station to a military exercise—but coming only two weeks on the heels of a suspected sabotage explosion at a missile base, Iran is seeking to downplay it. "An explosion has happened in Isfahan relates to a military exercise in one part of the city and is not particularly any problem," says the governor of Isfahan province.
