An explosion has destroyed an Israeli diplomat’s car in New Delhi, reportedly injuring two people. A bomb targeting the Israeli embassy in Tbilisi has also been defused.

Israel was quick to point the finger at Iran, blaming it for the bombings. "Today we witnessed two attempts of terrorism against innocent civilians," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, adding that "Iran is behind these attacks and is the largest terror exporter in the world.”

In total four people were wounded in the explosion that took place just a hundred meters away from the Indian prime minister’s residence.

Dehli’s police commissioner said the Israeli military attaché’s wife was on her way to pick her children from the American Embassy School. Tal Yeshova was said to be stable and conscious after the explosion. Her driver, 42-year-old Manoj Sharma, had minor injuries as well as two by-standers.

Tal Yeshova said a man on a motorbike passed by the car and threw an object at it. Investigators on the scene are currently working to find the man. They are also trying to establish where the device exploded and if it was thrown at the car or attached to it.

In Tbilisi Georgian authorities confirmed that an explosive device had been attached to the underside of a car belonging to the Israeli embassy.

A Georgian Interior Ministry spokesman said the driver, a Georgian national, had noticed the device. He said he heard something suspicious as he was on his way to the Israeli embassy. He pulled over to the side of the road and saw the attached bomb and called the police.

The driver called the police, who managed to safely defuse the device. It has not been specified where the car was parked.

The twin bombing attempts come one day after the fourth anniversary of the assassination of Hezbollah's deputy leader Imad Mughniyah.

Last year Israeli embassies around the world received several terror threats on the third anniversary of Mughniyah’s death.

The Iranian authorities deny the accusations. Yet there is speculation that the attacks are reprisals against the murders of Iranian nuclear scientists.

Iran is building up its forces in the Persian Gulf and has prepared speedboats loaded with explosives. That is according to a senior US naval official, who also said that the US is still capable of preventing Iran from blocking the Strait of Hormuz.

"They have increased the number of submarines [to 10], they increased the number of fast attack craft," the commander of US naval forces in the region, Vice Admiral Mark Fox, told reporters on Sunday. "Some of the small boats have been outfitted with a large warhead that could be used as a suicide explosive device. The Iranians have a large mine inventory."

The head of US’s Fifth Fleet also added that the United States has been watching with interest how Tehran develops its long-range rockets and various ballistic missiles, not mentioning the country’s nuclear program.
