No, they're not firing off nukes. It's Karl Rove's earthquake machine.

The seismic profile of a nuclear detonation is easily distinguished from an earthquake.

We just had a total eclipse of the sun that peaked over Ghana. There was a big earthquake in Turkey after the total eclipse passed over them in Feb 2005. It killed 17,000.

Escapes me why the newswires use these crappy local magnitude determinations from these third world countries instead of USGS (quake was M 5.7 per the USGS.)
Anyway, it's far too big to be anything but the largest of thermonuclear weapons, which the Iranians obviously don't have.
Iran is one of the most naturally seismic countries in the world and this quake was near one of the largest faults.
I was anticipating months of people asking "was it a nuke?" for every Iranian quake..guess I was right.

This is the warning to the Mullah régime just prior to the final coming showdown.

Hypothetically speaking, if the Iranians get fully functional nukes from Russia, there is no need to test them.

Surely this is a sign from Allah. Everyone who survived must beat themselves with sticks.

The quake had a preliminary magnitude of 5.0 and was centered near Boroujerd and Doroud, two industrial cities in western Iran, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported. Hours later, it was followed shortly before dawn by two weaker aftershocks and a third tremor with a magnitude of 6.0, IRNA reported. How often is there a stronger aftershock than the preliminary quake...
