Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East due to the struggle between Iran, Israel, and the USA, a video of a blast is going viral on social media with claims that it shows the destruction caused by an Iranian attack on different targets in Israel, including the Mossad headquarters, which resulted in 1,100 casualties.

Fact check:

We started our investigation with a reverse image search on Google, and the results led us to a similar video uploaded by TRT world on X on 17 November 2025. The caption of the post states, “A massive explosion at the Spegazzini industrial park in Ezeiza, Buenos Aires, triggered a huge fire at chemical plants and warehouses”.

This indicates that the viral video is old and not related to the ongoing conflict in the Middle east.

Using these hints, we conducted further searches and found several Spanish news reports regarding this incident. The report states that “A series of explosions caused a large fire and left at least 20 injured in the Carlos Spegazzini industrial park in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.” 

According to the Hindu report, the explosion took place at a factory in Ezeiza, Buenos Aires, just outside the Argentinian capital’s airport.

Moving forward, we found a video report on CBS News’s official YouTube channel on 16 November, 2025, detailing the incident. 

So, based on all this evidence, we can understand that an old video from Argentina is falsely shared as the aftermath of Iran attacking Israel.

Conclusion

Fact Crescendo found that the claim made along with the viral video to be False. This viral video is from November 2025 and shows a massive explosion at a plant in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
