According to an opposition site INA (Iran News Agency), several patients with infected skin blisters have been admitted to the Alzahra hospital in the city of Isfahan, Iran, in the past seven days.

A doctor at the hospital ventured that all of the patients with skin blisters might be victims from the fallout of radioactive material. The doctor further claimed that since all these patients lived in the same small area, it was likely that a nuclear test for either military or scientific purposes was probably the cause of the blisters.

It should be noted that Iran operates a uranium conversion plant near Isfahan as well as several nuclear labs.

Back on November 26, an explosion rocked the western Iranian city of Isfahan, but the location and the cause were never announced by the authorities of the Islamic regime.
