The incident, which has sparked public concern and police investigation, occurred in the capital city. Authorities are currently reviewing the case, with no official details yet released on the extent of the damage or any arrests. The suspect’s claim of fleeing Iran adds a layer of international context to the case, though no further details on his background have been confirmed (thejournal.ie).
