The sound of a massive explosion in central Tehran at 5:20 AM on Friday, March 13.
The sounds of explosions can still be heard after a few minutes have passed.
An even more powerful explosion was heard at 5:26.

Central Tehran at 5:20 is still shaking.

5:20
Again, a very strong explosion.
The whole house shook.

It keeps hitting the east and won't stop tonight.

So far, we've felt strong tremors 4 times. It was such that our entire building was shaking.
Vahid, it's now 5:21, and this has happened two more times.

Vahid, at 5:20,
Sattar Khan, for the umpteenth time, an explosion and strong tremors,
but it’s clear it’s distant.

At 5:26, again, this time closer and more terrifying.

Central Tehran, Fatemi, at 5:20, the fourth massive explosion was felt. These four explosions were more intense than all the explosions we've felt in central Tehran. Even stronger than the explosions last Friday morning.
At 5:26, the fifth was felt.
At 5:27, the next one.

5:20, the sound of shaking glass again.
Tehran, this one was farther away from northern Tehran.
Tehran is experiencing heavy rain, but rain and snow make no difference to them; they come and go easily, doing their job.

5:28, the sound of two distant explosions.

Vahid, since 4:15, Tehran has been shaking badly. We are in the east; it’s not clear where it’s coming from, but it seems the whole of Tehran can hear it.

From Majidieh in Tehran, see, our whole building shook. After 15 minutes, another one came, and in the span of a quarter, another sound was different from all the others.
They hit again.

West Tehran (Tehran Sar), 5:25, the sound of explosions closer than before; the windows of the house are shaking.
The sound of explosions doesn’t stop.

I saw black smoke from the south of Tehran from the center.
There have been 6 or 7 so far; it’s distant for us, and the sound is low, but it has depth.
We felt the first two when they collapsed the building somewhat.
Tehran is experiencing rain and is cloudy; nothing is clear, but the black smoke is somewhat visible below.
Now the ground shook two more times.

Just now at 5:25, the sound of another explosion.
Ferdousiyeh, Shahriar, this time the sound was farther away.

Hello Vahid, from the direction of Shahr-e Rey, some terrifying sounds are coming.
The house is shaking a lot as always.

The sound came again.
I am in Tehran Pars.
The building shook.

5:26, the same sound came again.

5:26, once again, Pirouzi shook and was quite strong, and all the windows shook.

In these 25 minutes since my last message, I heard several explosions, but the last explosion (5:25) was the strongest, and the windows shook.

05:20, another one. Whatever it is, these are strong explosions, but we can't determine where they are.
5:25 and 5:27, the same sound came again.

5:26, in west Tehran, the sound of explosions came twice.
This time the sound of the explosion was very different, and the shaking was significant.

We are in the southeast of Tehran.
It’s been about 20 minutes of constant explosions, and it doesn’t stop; I think it’s towards Parchin.
Some of them get closer and shake a lot.

5:20, another sound came.
5:26, again.
5:27, another one.

It’s very terrifying; there are so many messages that it’s pointless because it keeps hitting.
