| Huge Explosion at Iranian Explosives Plant |
| 2014-10-06 |
| (h/t Instapundit) Two people were killed in an explosion at a defense ministry plant east of Tehran for the production of explosives, Iran’s state news agency IRNA reported Monday. The BBC, citing a report from the semi-official Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA), reported on Monday that the incident happened in an “explosive materials production unit” at the site south-east of the capital Tehran. According to ISNA the blast was so powerful it shattered windows up to 12 kilometers away and the glare from the explosion lit up the night sky. Broken windows 12 km away? That's a heckuva gas pipeline leak! Nuclear experts from the IAEA were due to hold talks Tuesday in Tehran to try and resolve outstanding issues regarding Iran’s disputed atomic program. This is one way to prevent inspections, I guess. |

| #2 I had categorized this under WoT-Political because there was not yet any evidence of whether it was an accident or an on purpose - but it was still relevant to the whole inspection/arms control political effort. |
