The building is located near Karaj City, which is 25 miles west of the capital Tehran.
The incident currently is under investigation, according to the report. The incident comes on the heels of what Fars calls a “sabotage operation” in a part of the electricity distribution network of the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility on Sunday morning, which Iran has blamed on the “Zionist regime.”
