Elder of Ziyon
The media in Lebanon and Iran are filled with chaotic reports as people don't know what is going on. Today, they are reporting, not only Hezbollah walkie talkies exploding but also car batteries, fingerprint machines, smartphones, intercoms and solar panels, attributed to Israel Moreover, there are rumors advising people to remove their smart watches.
It seems unlikely that any of these besides the walkie talkies are true, and they are mostly just either coincidental or secondary explosions from the exploding walkie talkies today.
There were also reports of explosions at an Iranian-backed Shiite paramilitary group in Iraq.
One rumor is more interesting than most.
Iranian website Raja News, which is close to the hardline camp, claimed that a company named Iran Cell, a leading telecom company in Iran, was involved in the deal to purchase pagers for Hezbollah.
According to the report, Iran Cell recommended the specific pagers to be used by Hezbollah, and they checked them out before distribution to check for any potential problems.
As soon this report was published, Iran Cell issued a vehement denial, saying "Following the publication of an article about the advisory role of Iran Cell managers in the process of providing pagers for Lebanon's Hezbollah, this issue is fundamentally false and the mentioned article is denied."
That denial leaves some wiggle room. They might be denying only one detail. I have no idea if they were involved, but Iran Cell is definitely close to the Iranian regime.
Seeing paranoia among terrorists and their supporters is quite satisfying.
