Iran’s former oil minister has revealed an extraordinary account of an alleged phone call received shortly before a series of gas pipeline explosions in early 2024.

The claims resurfaced amid renewed tensions between Iran and Israel and fresh fears of another regional escalation. Could this disclosure reshape the shadow war narrative?
