As U.S. armada edges closer to Iran’s doorstep, strange booms near a military site southeast of Tehran have set social media on fire. Officials insist there was no explosion at the Pakdasht facility, just “routine tests” and “standard activity,” but many online are already whispering about covert strikes and psychological warfare. At the same time, Iran’s generals warn that any “limited, clean” U.S. operation would spiral out of Washington’s control. Is this just noise in the night—or the first tremor of a conflict nobody can contain?
