... Israeli general says explosions that reportedly hit Iranian nuclear sites were not accidents

Israeli officials said in a report Wednesday that a mysterious explosion at an Iranian nuclear facility two days ago was no accident.

The eyebrow-raising remarks surfaced in a Times of London story reporting that satellite images show smoke billowing from the uranium enrichment facility in the city of Isfahan.

“There aren’t many coincidences,” retired Major-General Giora Eiland told Israel’s army radio, noting that it was the second attack on an Iranian nuclear site in a month.

“When there are so many events, there is probably some sort of guiding hand, though perhaps it’s the hand of God,” said Eiland, who is Israel’s former national security chief.

Oh, there's a guiding hand, alright. Perhaps it's God, and perhaps it's not...

One never knows, do one?

“Hand of God” works for me. Just think what may happen in Iran when the “Shoe of God” drops (and then, the other shoe).

I don’t like this one bit. Corner and taunt any animal long enough and it will attack. Iran at some point in time will strike back and we may not like the results.If you’re gonna tree a wild cat, best to shoot him out of the tree and let the dogs take care of him.

Nope, like a bad weed, you don’t just cut it everytime you mow, you dig it up by the roots and burn it, if not it will just grow back.

>>though perhaps it’s the hand of God...<<

This phrase gives me a quiet chuckle. For generations we used it, in family, often saying *it’s the **H.O.G.***, even the kids growing up knew what it meant and used it in defense; As in: *who knocked over the flower pot and broke it?* ...Answer: *It was the H.O.G.*...*giggle giggle.* You knew at that moment, you’d never get the truth. I’d like to think it has origins in Hebrew tradition. :)

Iran’s North Korean nuke-techs are really on Mossad’s payroll.

This area has been a tinder box for such a long, long time ...perhaps it’s finally coming to a head....and the incident that ignites it will *the hand of God*. I hope the H.O.G. is decisive.

and if you do just keep your mouth shut and keep anyone guessing who did it.

Nobody keeps their mouth shut anymore it seems.

Ronen Bergman, writing about today’s Isfahan incident and the recent missile base explosion, added extensive detail about how Mossad might’ve caused such sabotage in the latter case:

The Iranians believe the hand of the Mossad was involved with the help of Iranian opposition forces [the MEK]. The Iranians believe the target was not the actual facility but Gen. Hassan Moghaddam, who supervised IRG missile research and development. In their evaluation, the operation succeeded beyond what the Mossad had anticipated. This occurred because the attackers used an enormous quantity of explosive material in order to destroy the entire office building in which Moghaddam was located. This caused damage to the fuel tanks and other explosives located there which caused an even greater explosion.

Oh I agree on that. Sometimes I wonder if we are goading them into attack to justify an overwhelming counter attack. As another thread suggested, China wouldn’t care if it started WWIII if it meant protecting Iran.Point of interest. Someone told me not long ago, an economics scholar, The only thing that will get the world economy back on track would be a WWIII scenario that would level the playing field.

Aster murdering Neda, that regime has plenty of Iranian enemies right in Tehran.

Seems strange this is *out* there. As well, I wonder if our bases in Germany and Turkey are on standby/alert.
