| Fire in Iran occurred at secret IRGC missile base - Israeli report |
| 2021-10-01 |
| [JPost-almost posted to Opinion] A Tel Aviv-based servicer for satellite images estimates that the facility was not just any military compound - it was a secret missile base. A fire erupted in an IRGC facility in Iran on Sunday leaving two dead and one injured. On Thursday, Tel Aviv-based ImageSat International - ISI, a commercial servicer for satellite images - estimated that the facility was not just any military compound - it was a secret missile base. It is still unclear why the fire erupted on Sunday. A series of explosions and fires have hit industrial sites across Iran, including a number of petrochemical plants, in recent months and over the past year. Iranian officials have referred to most of the cases as incidents or accidents, although some reports have claimed that at least some of them involved foul play. The aging infrastructure in Iran has also been blamed for at least some of the incidents. Frequent blackouts have plagued Iran recently amid a heatwave.

| #1 On February 23, 2012, ISIS [Institute for Science] released the report, "The Physics Research Center and Iran’s Parallel Military Nuclear Program", based on a set of about 1,600 telexes which contain a set of procurement data about Iran’s Physics Research Center (PHRC) and its head Sayyed Abbas Shahmoradi Zavareh. One topic in this report was a discussion of a 1988 effort to illegally procure a mass spectrometer with nuclear applications in uranium isotope separation. Iran has stated that Shahmoradi was asked to procure this spectrometer prior to the start of the PHRC when he was a manager at Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group (SHIG). This organization was a leader in Iran’s effort to build ballistic missiles. Evidence in the original ISIS report suggests that SHIG was also the original location of Iran’s military nuclear program. |
