A spokesman for the Revolutionary Guards said the blast happened as troops were moving munitions at a base in Bidganeh, near the town of Shahriar.
"My dear colleagues in the Revolutionary Guards were moving munitions in one of the arsenals at that base when, due to an incident, an explosion happened," Ramezan Sharif told state TV news channel IRINN.
"Some of the casualties are reported to be in a critical condition," he added.
Residents in western suburbs of Tehran, 45 km away, told Reuters they had felt the blast, assuming it to be a low-level earthquake. Some media reports said the initial blast was followed by a second explosion.
The other blast occurred in gas filing station situated in Tehran’s Shahi-Guds district. There is no information about the reasons and casualties of the incident.
