3 Mr. Tousi claims it was an uprising action, not ordinance clearance, but gives no evidence:

4 it is in an area that is pretty out of the way

also a lot of Kurds and Azeris in the area

doubt there is much unexploded ordinance from the 30+ days of the US, IDF bombing - certainly not in an area of farmland

5 Not a UXO guy, but if you are mine clearing and lose 14 people when one goes off, you are doing it wrong.

Given that Tasnim is the media arm of the IRGC, I hereby declare that this story smells.
