| Blast At Suspected Iran Nuke Facility Was Caused By 'Foreign Country' |
| 2014-10-11 |
| [IsraelTimes] An unnamed foreign country was responsible for the blast at Iran's secretive Parchin facility on Monday, a Kuwaiti news site claimed Thursday, quoting unnamed Washington-based European diplomats. The report by Kuwait's Al Rai also claimed Western intelligence agencies believe that Iran has been conducting tests at the facility, aimed at loading nuclear warheads onto ballistic missiles. It was the Monday strike, the report further said, that prompted Iran to order Hezbollah to target an Israeli army patrol on the Israeli side of the Israel-Leb border the next day, in which two soldiers were maimed. |

| #6 Ok, I looked at the imagery, and I looked at the imagery currently on Google Earth. There were at LEAST three different explosions, but only one of those was co-located with a building. That building was totally destroyed, and there was a crater where the western end of the building had been. There was major damage to a building immediately south of the destroyed building, and the trees were totally stripped of leaves and most branches to the west. There was another explosion that destroyed a building to the south of the first building destroyed. There wasn't as much collateral damage at that building, and no crater. The third explosion occurred between two buildings, apparently started a small fire, and took the roof off the building to the north. A building to the south of the area was also damaged, but not as extensively. NONE of these buildings were "bunkers", and none had any earthworks or other blast deflectors around them. Compare these to the buildings at the ammo/munitions plants to the north and south of the location where the explosions took place to see the difference. The Google image location is 35.31.38N, 051.46.22E. I tried to paste an image, but can't. Fred, let me know if you want to get the image. |

| #3 Several arms facilities and military bases are located east of the Iranian capital, including Parchin. My assessment, an ammo dump went kaboom, as I indicted yesterday. See anyone in the measuring and signals community [any country you pick] getting excite about a radiation release? Me neither. |
