AN IRANIAN nuclear facility has been hit by a huge explosion, the second such blast in a month, prompting speculation that Tehran's military and atomic sites are under attack. Satellite imagery seen by The Times confirmed that a blast that rocked the city of Isfahan on Monday struck the uranium enrichment facility there, despite denials by Tehran.

What would be great tv would be an Iranian mouthpiece at a mic saying nothing is exploding, and then in the background behind him, having some big complex/building just get demolished in a big cloud.

Nope, no explosions going on here, as you can see, it’s all just a normal day. Yup we planned that, that was an old building and was scheduled to come down today....

“Damn the mullahs to eternal Hell for what they are doing to that country.”

Amen.

fyi - I think the Isfahan nuke facility is out of the city in a mountainous area. I think that may be why there were conflicting reports of whether people heard an explosion.

Those Mossad guys are awesome.

But how are they doing it? Would make one terrific movie.

I can tell you that of explosions there have been none in all of Iran. In fact the noises in the country are less than they have ever been known to exist. An we have no smoke in the sky. Or bombs falling on us, no none at all.

Just when I thought I couldn’t love Bibi more.
It’s too too good to be true.
And I so hope it’s true.

Let’s hope that all the Iranian nuclear facilities go the way of the Japanese reactor ... and take as many mullahs, Revolutionary Guards, and politicians with them as possible. Hell hath no fury like a nuclear meltdown.

rods from God??

Perhaps the Blackstar / Blackswift projects were not mythical after all, but I rather doubt that Zero would have the stones to order the use of a space-based weapon system, even if one exists.

So maybe it really is God throwing those rods.

That idiotic Saudi move was a severe blunder by the Iranian regime - without that overreach, none of this could have happened in this way.

Amazing how smoothly this is going down.

But why isn't it being reported in the MSM? Not even Drudge is reporting this. Why??
