Mystery over 'explosion' at Iran's Fordow nuclear site

A report published on Right-wing news website WND on Friday, quoting a defected Iranian intelligence officer, claimed that a massive blast had ripped through the nuclear facility, buried deep within the guts of a large mountain.
The alleged blast was said to have erupted at 11.30am last Monday – on the eve of the Israeli election – partially destroyed the nuclear site and trapped 240 people underground. Tehran held Israel responsible, the report said.
More than a week later, the report is yet to be verified by a single independent source. If true, it would be the most significant attack on Iranian nuclear capabilities to date and could spark a fierce reaction from the Islamic State.
And yet on Sunday evening, Shamseddin Barbroudi, deputy head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organisation, assured Iranian reporters there had been no explosion at the nuclear facility whatsoever.
Earlier the same day, Avi Dichter, Israel's home defence minister, had been unable to confirm the unsubstantiated reports but nonetheless, welcomed them. "Any explosion in Iran that doesn't hurt people but hurts its assets is welcome," he said.

I blame the monkeys they employ to spin the centrifuges....

Once you have weaponised space monkeys, nukes are old hat.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that they are nuclear space monkeys.

They clearly intend to immigrate, that's why.

I'm guessing that they had a mole? a suicide mole?

When nobody else will get off their fat asses and do something to prevent Iran from getting the bomb, call the Israelis, who will.

Bondberg. Joshua Bondberg.

Doesn't quite have the same ring.

You just.. don't get it do you Seth?

If Iran wants 'the bomb', they'll get 'the bomb'. Nothing short of full scale war is going to stop them and Israel isn't up to the task. The USA can't afford to make itself vulnerable by taking on a hardened target with a real army at this time. So this is what we get. Mysterious explosions.

Besides, Israel already has 'the bomb'. Fair's fair.

There's more than one way to skin a cat. I like the way Israel handles these things. First they infiltrate and sabotage, then they try conventional weapons (on their reactors), and only as a last resort do they turn the Mullahs into radioactive glass.

A bunch of them actually, which is why Israel still exists. They came damned close to dropping a half dozen or so of them on Baghdad when Saddam started firing SCUDs at them, but our government got them to turn the planes back within minutes of their point of no return.

There's nothing "fair" about Iran getting nuclear weapons, it's a clear and present danger to the rest of the non-Muslim world and they must be stopped at any price, even the vaporization of Tehran if necessary.

Never happen.

How very narrow minded and parochial of you. I'm not disappointed.
