伊朗駐黎巴嫩使館附近發生爆炸七人喪生

Two explosions near the Iranian embassy in Lebanon's capital have killed at least seven people.

The blasts Tuesday in southern Beirut caused extensive damage to buildings in the area, including the embassy compound.

Lebanese television broadcast images of a line of flaming and charred vehicles along with piles of debris in the street.

There were conflicting reports about the cause of the explosions, ranging from rockets to car bombs.

The site is located in a neighborhood that is a stronghold of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. The group has been helping to fight rebels in neighboring Syria, which is one of its main backers along with Iran.伊朗駐黎巴嫩大使館附近發生兩起爆炸，造成至少七人死亡。

星期二的爆炸發生在黎巴嫩首都貝魯特南部城區，大片建築被損壞，包括伊朗大使館的建築。

黎巴嫩電視臺播放了燃燒中的被炸燬的汽車以及街邊瓦礫的畫面。

對爆炸起因的報道相互矛盾，有的說是火箭襲擊，有的說是汽車炸彈。

爆炸發生地點是黎巴嫩激進組織真主黨的一個據點。真主黨一直在幫助鄰國敘利亞與反叛武裝作戰。敘利亞和伊朗是真主黨的主要支持者。
