A massive explosion was reported near Isfahan, Iran today. Isfahan is considered to be the primary location of the Iranian nuclear weapons program.

Explosions were also reported in Syria and Iraq on Friday morning.

The Iranian media is reporting three major explosions in Isfahan.

This is not the first time the Isfahan nuclear facility has been targeted.

UPDATE: Via ABC News – Iranian state television says nuclear facilities near Isfahan ‘fully safe’ after air defense batteries fired in area.

Now this — A Biden administration official blamed Israel for the attack. Why would the Biden regime do that?

CNN reported:

Israel has carried out a strike inside Iran, a US official tells CNN, in a move that threatens to push the region deeper into conflict.

The target is not nuclear, the official said.

Prior to the Israeli strike Friday (local time), the US expectation was that they would not target civilian or nuclear facilities, another senior US official told CNN.

CNN has previously reported that Israel told the US its response would be limited in scope. US intelligence had suggested Israel was weighing a narrow and limited strike inside Iran because they feel like they have to respond with a kinetic action of some kind given the unprecedented scale of the Iranian attack

I flipped channels and caught a bit of MSNBC - maybe 10 minutes

I have never observed such an awkward, stilted conversation as between Richard Engel and the host. Then along comes their White Hospital correspondent and he was almost as bad.

Sung to, “Greensleeves”

Alas o mullah your plans are shot
Bibi’s boys are ace pilots
your try to make a nuclear bomb
Went up with a poof from a fighter jet
Green glows the bomb plant worker
Green glows the nearby mulla
Green glows the nearby land
Whats a barbarian cleric to do now?

When it comes to “vicious”, the Iranians are amateurs compared to the demonic Western ruling class.

Government sponsored celebration of drag queens and other assorted sexual freaks and the sexualization of small children in public schools makes forcing women to wear burqas seem as quaint and refreshing as a Rodgers & Hammerstein musical.

Look in the mirror. We really are the Great Satan. Not the American people, but our leaders. They truly are the most corrupt and duplicitous of all. They cloak themselves in the skin of our history and tradition of freedom and industriousness while unleashing sheer hell on the American people and plenty of the rest of the world.

Our leaders are far far worse than any of the foreign boogeyman they instruct us to fear.

I’ll take PEWWWW-TINN over any of the rat finks in any of the decomposed chambers of our hallowed halls of Federal governance. He seems to like his own people and his country’s traditions a lot better than the satanic pedophillic arsonists running this 5 alarm dumpster fire.

Why would Israel not target Iran’s nuclear facilities the first change it got? Seriously!

FWIW, the Mullahs condemn the use of nuclear weapons as immoral. We may not want to remove them from the equation. Once a country labeled “Axis of Evil” acquires a nuclear weapon, it is immune from “regime change”.

Faux News is not a valid news source.

Ok so, uhm, you convinced me.

For the sake of your shallow vanity in not being able to admit you made a mistake, I hearby divorce myself from common sense and assume the false dichotomy that a network must be completely free from all political and corporate biases in order for their reporting on a huge non-controversial event to possibly be true.

So the story is likely not fake.

Common sense is a wonderful thing. It allows those who use it to determine when reporting from a corporate network is likely reliable and when it is not. I would trust even CNN or MSNBC in this context. In other contexts, for instance trusting them to fairly and accurately cover some political controversy or something Trump is a accused of, obviously only an idiot would trust them.

The ‘coverage’ by Daily Mail is restricted to a few grainy low-res cell phone videos that have been circulating and show something in the distance but the context is unclear. The media benefits by playing it up, so be careful.

If they were paying him they would have plenty of U.S. taxpayer dollars to cut the checks wouldn't they?
