Iran under pressure after fourth mysterious explosion
2020-07-05
[Jpost] If Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
says it is under wide ranging, near-daily, cyber assault, it will weigh what to do next.

Iran is under intense pressure after four serious explosions that appear to have damaged key infrastructure linked to its missile and nuclear program, as well as other facilities.

#15   Appreciate the post. These events in Iran seem very important indeed

You’re very welcome, Tom. That’s why I added this overview article, even though we already had reports on each of the incidents.

Actually, it's a 16 years old hacker from Ramat Gan trying to impress his (virtual) girlfriend.

#1  Forget the whole "once is an accident, twice coincidence" thing. By the time you get to #4, something is definitely going on. Kinda sounds like they finally got on the last nerve of the Israelis.

including through commentary at its major media suggesting it might respond to the attacks.

Given the last Iranian "response", it's prolly not a good time to be booking commercial air travel thru Iranian air space.
