I was looking for some perspective to see how big the complex is. Assume those ting roads are 30’ wide. Considering the debris craters to the south and north, I estimate an initial blast radius of about 300’. That levels everything in a 600’ diameter with structural damage extending out beyond that. That is one hell of an explosion.

It also appears some of the clean up had started before the photos were taken. So it's hard to effectively analyze where the epicenter(s) may have been. I can't see a crater. But you can see some pockmarked earth where large debris presumably landed. Damaged buildings 1000’ away? I don't think we have anything conventional that would suggest it was a missile strike. But I am not an expert (just an engineer).

I expect a lot of people were killed depending on the timing.

I wonder if they had “No Smoking” signs posted in the munitions storage facility.

I’d bet it was an inside job.
More than a few Iranians want an end to this...

Anyone have the exact location?

I found a nuke facility about 5 miles from the center of Malard.

Another indicator of scale is in the upper right hand portion of the complex there appears to be a soccer field. That was a big explosion.
