Not many of these are WP:RS that covert events other than the Isfahan attack. Any WP:RS for the night of 28/29 January for:

an explosion in Azarshahr?
an explosion in Khoy that apparently happened and was recorded on video just before an earthquake?

Azarshahr:

Explosion Occurs At Motor Oil Production Facility In Irans Azarshahr - Reports Новая "бавовна" в Иране: горит нефтеперерабатывающий завод Eksplozje w Iranie. Atak na fabrykę broni

Khoy:

Iran Claims It Has Come Under Drone Attack Following Explosions

Not sure if they are reliable, but they are.. sources 🍁🏳️‍🌈 DinoSoupCanada 🏳️‍🌈 🍁 (talk) 02:38, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Added content about Azarshahr, but not Khoy. Not enough sources to back it up 🍁🏳️‍🌈 DinoSoupCanada 🏳️‍🌈 🍁 (talk) 02:51, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Urdupoint article is poorly sourced, so it's hard to judge its reliability (even if initial hints are that it will survive its third AfD), and the particular article credits WP:SPUTNIK, which is deprecated. Boud (talk) 03:04, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Earthquake versus attacks[edit]

There seems to have been an earthquake near the border with Turkey, leading to possible confusion between earthquake events and military attacks. Sources to clarify this will be needed. Boud (talk) 02:01, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Ukraine did warn you"[edit]

Is there anything we could add to the Background section to explain this reaction? It is unclear to me what this has to do with Ukraine, as a reader who hears about these attacks for the first time here. DFlhb (talk) 10:39, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
