Satellite Images Suggest Something Happened at Iranian Nuclear Facility -- But

The first clear pictures of Iran’s nuclear site near Isfahan have been published and analyzed following an explosion at or near the site on Nov. 28, and they provide another piece of the puzzle. But what happened there remains a mystery.

-excerpt-

ISIS analysts who looked at the images from Isfahan said there had been a dramatic change in the landscape around a tunnel leading down to a storage facility on the periphery of the uranium conversion site. Several structures above that storage facility, which had been there for 15 years and stood intact as recently as August, are gone. There now is evidence of bulldozing around the old structures.

Death from the sky?

To render an underground facility worthless, you don’t have to burrow very deep. Just block the air supply.

It’s best if you kill any people in the facility, also. The most irreplacable asset is skilled personnel, be they Iranian, North Korean, Chinese or German. To accomplish this, seal all the entrances and bolt holes.

I wonder if we know how to blow stuff up without dropping bombs.

[Izzy Dunne]

Looking at the maps, a flight from western Afghanistan to Isfahan would have flown over Kashmar, where the drone was downed the other day.

Just sayin'.

reference our previous discussion.......

These are the pictures from Esfahan.

The message from both sites is....... they have been rendered useless

Is this an e-attack from the Israelis?

-——Is this an e-attack from the Israelis?——

There is no known evidence of Israeli involvement. The only smoking gun is a downed US drone and it was unarmed. No finger prints, no DNA, no confession...... no evidence

The Iranians are looking for someone to blame and It is not to big a stretch to see Obama wanting credit. The downed drone serves them both well. They both know different however.

I personally think that there was Saudi involvement. They are more of an Iranian target than Israel.

Natural gas leak.

You can draw a straight line through that blast site, indicating a series of explosions in a line, similar to what you would get from an aerial attack.

It makes sense to conduct such an operation as anonymously as possible. The Iranians have no idea who or where it is coming from and will scramble to protect their other facilities, revealing them to us for the next operation.

It would be interesting to see what the seismic scale was. Several years back, a reported ammo train in N Korea exploded - just as Kim was supposed to pass nearby. That explosion was recorded, wonder if this one was? Would certainly tell what size blast it was - looks to me as if it was equivalent to a small nuke < 0.5kt, or fuel-air bomb like the GBU-43/B.

So, why would that be a big secret?

“Looking at the maps, a flight from western Afghanistan to Isfahan would have flown over Kashmar, where the drone was downed the other day.”

Possibly.

[EQAndyBuzz]

My bet is the technical systems administrator.

Planted the virus, planted the bombs and got out of Dodge.

“The only smoking gun is a downed US drone and it was unarmed.”

Unarmed or it’s payload already deployed?

One report was that an Atomic warhead exploded while being fitted to a rocket. Another said that Stuxnet virus exploded a warhead. Another report was that only 3 aid workers were allowed into the compound to help because of radiation. The bulldozer activity could be covering radioactive materials.
