Iran humiliated as missile attack 'kills more of its own soldiers than Israelis'
Residents nearby are reported to have run out of their homes, as buildings shook and flames soared upwards into the sky.
A misfiring Iranian rocket is reported to have killed two Iranian Revolutionary Guards and injured another twelve.
The incident is believed to have happened at a military research base in Karaj, located west of Tehran.
A source living close to the site told the SUN that a muffled sound emanating from the base sounded like a malfunctioning rocket.
Residents nearby are reported to have run out of their homes, as buildings shook and flames soared upwards into the sky.
The apparent launch pad disaster would mean more Iranians than Israelis died in Tehran's retaliatory missile strike.
Iran fired over 180 rockets on Tuesday at its arch-enemy, following the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
However, the IDF said no Israelis had been killed in the attack. A Palestinian in Jericho is the only known fatality.
Unverified claims suggested as many as five militias had been killed by the misfiring 22.5-tonne Sejil ballistic missile.
Iran has not commented on the alleged incident.

Israel is reported to have targeted Nasrallah's successor in a bombing raid overnight, that caused massive explosions.
Hashem Safieddine, a cousin of the former Hezbollah leader, is widely considered to be his potential successor.
Israeli officials told the New York Times that their military received information suggesting Safieddine and other Hezbollah leaders were meeting in a bunker in the southern Dahieh district of the Lebanese capital.
Hezbollah has remained tight-lipped on the reports, as it continues to reel under the ferocity of Israel's unrelenting attacks.
Meanwhile, Iran's Supreme Leader has praised his country's attacks on Israel earlier this week.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the attack was entirely "legal" and that Iran's actions were the “minimum punishment” for Israel's “astonishing crimes”.
He called Israel a “vampire” regime and the US a “rabid dog” in the region, in a belligerent speech.
He emphasised twice that Iran will not “hesitate” nor “procrastinate” when it comes to taking action against Israel.
