A mysterious explosion in a suburb of Teheran that killed 15 people last Saturday was likely an attack on a Iranian military convoy carrying arms to Hizbullah, the Telegraph reported Friday.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards imposed a news black-out immediately after the blast, but the UK newspaper reported that it looked like sabotage was responsible for destroying the convoy as it traveled through Khavarshahar.
The newspaper noted that the company responsible for moving the military equipment, LTK, was owned by the Revolutionary Guards and was allegedly involved in shipping arms to Hizbullah.
Last Saturday's incident was the latest in a series of mysterious explosions in the Islamic republic.
In May, Iran blamed British and US agents for an explosion at a mosque in Shiraz that had just been the site of a military exhibition.
In 2007, more than a dozen Iranian engineers lost their lives while trying to fit a chemical warhead to a missile in Syria.
A few months earlier, a train apparently carrying military supplies to Syria was derailed by an explosion in northern Turkey.

Typical Israeli operation; hit the convoy while it’s still in Iran just to show that you can.

Wow, I sure didn't hear much about this from the NY Slimes or WaPo.
What next, admitting that Iran may be the bad guys in the Iraqi war and fomenting unconventional warfare across the Middle East?

Too bad Ziva is with NCIS and probably just as well, she would probably best 95% of the CIA types. I wouldn't want to be on the bad side of someone like that.

Joint CIA-Mossad operation, with possible British or French assistance. These agencies routinely share assets and intelligence for things like this.

One can hope it was a joint operation by what few sensible people are in any of those agencies.

I hope that there are many more explosions that kill Iranian terrorist. It would be a blessing if one of the explosions took out the mental midget.

More likely a DoD or Ministry of Defence (UK) op. Mossad is not as vaunted a they once were.
But who knows?

Now wonder Special Ops computer games or console games are so popular.
