#2 Look for a Naval Blockade of Iran and North Korea towards the end of the summer.

#6 Is is just me or did some of the buildings look like they had suffered terrible fires? Have they been sloppy?

#8 Its sloppy construction. Lots of tailings and excavation dirt piled up with no real order to it - and look at the lack of guardhouses and other shelter areas for a guard force. You can bet the place is wide open to infil any time the weather sets in. Wondering what those drums are in the SE area, and all the trailers in the yard nearby. One other thign to note: - quick glance for me doesnt reveal any standby generators of any substantial capacity.

This place is an accident waiting to happen.

#9 I dont see much anything that would be a storage area with proper containment other than the buildings ot the E of center of the fenced in area.

Also, you'd generally see a rail spur leading in to the storage area: you dont move large quantities of fissiles by truck unless you have no functional rail system that can reach.

#10 And yes, that does look like a very much fire damaged building in the center.

And a HQ/Engineering building in the NE, and a secured storage area in the E-center.

Consider this is a 1m image. Consider that we had 1m imagery during the Cuban Missle crisis. Consider how far things have come with that. Consider the types of stealthy recon aircraft and capable satellites we have now.

Consider all that and think what we know versus what we can tell.

#12 Is this supposed to be an nuclear powered electrical generating facility? Where are the cooling towers/cooling pond/river/lake? Any power plant rejects 2/3 of the heat it generates. Where is the turbine builidng? They tend to be 4-5 stories tall. Where are the power lines? Where are the substations with transformers? Where did you get this Mark?

#13 Zpaz - Up the mullahs' collective asses, along with their lie about oil-rich Iran needing nuclear power for electricity.
