Parchin, located 30 kilometers south of Tehran, is a sprawling 60 square kilometer site. Centers and defense related industries located in Parchin belong to the Ministry of Defense (The Defense Industries Organization, Iran’s Aerospace Industries Organization, and Institution for Research and Training of the Defense Industries.)

The huge site is organized into 11 different projects for production of various weapons and munitions. Projects 4 and 11 are devoted to production of Cruise missiles; projects 1, 2 and 8 are devoted to chemical weapons production.

In addition to Cruise missiles, other types of missiles, including Oghab (Eagle), Nazeat missiles, air to air missiles and solid fuel for missiles are manufactured in Parchin’s missile complex.

Parts of the Parchin site are devoted to conducting research on uranium enrichment using laser technology.

This is where Bush needs to hold a press conference and thank Putin for his assistance with handling “The Iranian Problem”. ;)

“I hope we are running programs like that.”

If we aren’t then somebody is not doing their job. We have agents who live in the shady world of corrupt and illegal arms and technology sales, just for the intelligence value. If we do nothing to convert that intelligence into operational means to hurt or confound our enemies, when they seek to get benefit from those shady deals, then our intelligence is worthless because turning the information over to “international agencies” is useless and the mantra of diplomatic niceties keeps us from using “standard” military means. If we had known about A.J. Khan (Pakistan’s top nuclear scientist), when his network was so successful, we could have infiltrated that network and insured North Korea never wanted to deal with him again, after their first “accidental” catastrophe. If we are not treating the situation with Iran with those intentions now, then we are led by fools.

I really hope it was done by Iranian hands,and that it was intentional.

So do I. The best outcome to the whole Iran mess would be a revolution against the Mullahs.

Here's a report on the incident by an Iranian resistance group:

Massive explosion in Parchin missile site of the Guard Corps

Wednesday, 14 November 2007

NCRI - Yesterday afternoon (Tuesday, November 13) a series of explosions rocked Parchin Military Site (where missiles, including Cruise missiles, are manufactured) in southern Tehran. As a result, several military personnel of the site were injured.

The explosions reportedly started in missile industries section of the Site. When shrapnel of the explosions hit another sections, eight other warehouses located next to each other were engulfed in flames.  


The fire, which began at 2:00 p.m. and was put out at 8:00 p.m., was so extensive that fire fighters from seven fire stations rushed to the scene. Four of the injured were Mostafa Nourizadeh, Alireza Verdi-lou, Nasser Rezai, and Morteza Motahari.

The clerical regime is trying very hard to prevent the news of the incident to leak and claimed that it was a normal fire. To this effect, in a memorandum to its staff and other relevant organs, it was stipulated that since the area is of military nature, no information should leak. The regime has also established a crisis headquarters to deal with the situation.

Parchin, located 30 kilometers south of Tehran, is a sprawling 60 square kilometer site. Centers and defense related industries located in Parchin belong to the Ministry of Defense (The Defense Industries Organization, Iran's Aerospace Industries Organization, and Institution for Research and Training of the Defense Industries.)

I also like “Ah’m A Nut Job” but it just doesn’t look as good in print.

Delta Force?

That was my first immediate thought too.

I hope so. Our guys train hard for this stuff, why not let them see the fruits of their training?

[Clioman]

The best part will be if this generates another set of howling editorials from the North Korean News Agency and silence from everybody else, like the Syrian strike in September...

[Gator113]

Cool.

I used to love watching the cartoons, before the main feature.
