Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani also denied rumors of a military attack on the `Daylam` located at 200-kms of the southern city of Bushehr. "There has not been any incidents in this area, he added. When our people witness an iron-feasted response to the enemy, then, they should know that we are under attack."

He also accused the print media as grinding the rumor-mill. These media aggrandize the unsubstantiated news outside Bushehr and then they deny them.

Also, some countries which themselves are faced with insecurity and terrorists acts are the perpetrators of such rumors, Shamkhani added.

Meanwhile, Governor General of the southern province of Bushehr Esmaeel Tabadar here on Wednesday has denied any attack on Iran`s nuclear and oil facilities in the province.

Tabadar told IRNA that foreign media had in a targeted move falsely mentioned the sound of a blast heard from a mountainous region 220 kilometers north of Bushehr nuclear power plant before noon Wednesday as an attack on the power plant.

He said that although the Wednesday pre-noon blast in the mountainous region east of Daylam port in northern Bushehr province was an insignificant issue, military experts immediately headed to the region aboard a helicopter to identify the cause of the incident. He added that the experts had strongly rejected any military invasion of the site.

The official reiterated that the site of the explosion had been a mountainous region in the north of Bushehr province, which is uninhabited.

An informed source said the minor explosion might have have been set off in a mountainous region east of Daylam port 220 kilometers north of Bushehr before noon on Wednesday by Oil Ministry contractors, while attempting to clear the ground for implementing oil projects. He said the use of dynamite to clear the rough mountainous terrain for roads to implement oil projects is a usual procedure.
