The site of the explosion, Parchin military base, is situated 19 miles southeast of Tehran. The UN's nuclear watchdog has long suspected that the complex was used in the development of a nuclear weapons capability
The semi-official Iranian Students News Agency (Isna) said the fire was in an 'explosive materials production unit'.
They quoted Iran's defence industries organisation, saying: 'Unfortunately, due to the incident, two workers of this production unit lost their lives.' ]
