Sabotage! Key Iranian nuclear facility hit? Source: Explosion destroys much of underground

An explosion deep within Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility has destroyed much of the installation and trapped about 240 personnel deep underground, according to a former intelligence officer of the Islamic regime.

The previously secret nuclear site has become a center for Iran’s nuclear activity because of the 2,700 centrifuges enriching uranium to the 20-percent level. A further enrichment to weapons grade would take only weeks, experts say.

The level of enrichment has been a major concern to Israeli officials, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeatedly has warned about the 20-percent enriched stockpile.

If true it’s gotta be Israel.

Netanyahu is da man! Again, if true, Bibi probably saved us from WWIII.

The closest seismic event I found in the past week was about 200 miles from the first set of coordinates. There could have been an explosion but, if so, it didn’t have much of a magnitude rating (but could still do a lot of damage).

Them gol-durn pesky Jooos is at it agin! :-)))

May G** bless and protect Binyamin Netanyahu, who is the hero of the Jewish people, whether some of them know it or not. It must be nice for the Israelis to have an actual man as their president.

Search Google using the string “iranian explosion 2013”. It’s starting to trickle out into the MSM.

The READ NEWS will be the last to report this story because The REAL NEWS is busy calling Barry and Hillary to get their walking orders. This is a “crisis” in the making and could be of some use to Ovomit. Besides, IT REALLY DOESN’T MATTER ANYMORE!!!! (except those discouraged Muslim Brotherhood types might cause “A BUMP IN THE ROAD” while Barry is trying to get our guns...)
