In response, the IRGC has launched an extensive inspection of all communication devices, with a focus on mid- to high-ranking members.

Iran is also working with Hezbollah to investigate the remains of the exploded devices, which were mostly homemade or imported from China and Russia. Security measures have been tightened at key Iranian missile and nuclear facilities as a result of the attack.

Tensions between Iran, Israel, and Hezbollah have intensified in recent months, with allegations of shadow warfare and sabotage. Lebanon and Hezbollah have blamed Israel for the attack, though Israel has not confirmed or denied involvement.
