#2 Maybe a crazed bulldozer driver rammed one of the vehicles, or....

“Dammit, Abdul, the cargo-light’s burned out. I can’t see what’s in the back of our truck.”

“No problem, Hosni, here’s my lighter. American made, very go...”

#3 "The terrorist group had ties with the US and Britain. These countries were informed of the arrest by the Foreign Ministry," he said, "but the countries did nothing to prevent these terror groups' activity."

And then his head exploded, right?

As a matter of fact, Darth, I believe the Revolutionary Guard is riddled with US, UK. and Jooooo spies and apostates. If any loyal Guards are reading this, I'd recommend they launch a purge right now! Don't wait! They'll confess...

#24 Tensions have been running high in Tehran since Seymour Hersh, the respected American investigative journalist, revealed in the New Yorker magazine last month that President George W Bush had authorised up to $400 million to fund a major escalation in covert operations to destabilise the regime.

Having contended with Iran’s attempts to undermine the Iraqi government over the past five years, British and American military commanders are more than happy to undertake covert operations in Iran, and there have been unconfirmed reports that special forces are operating undercover in the country.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA...thanks, Sy, you respected American investigative journalist, you...

#26 Nah, I think slippery Sy was a tool. We have no assets in Tehran, it was just an accident, but Sy will have them looking under every rock for th spies.

I think that's my favorite version.

#27 Slippery Sy is a tool.

As for the ammo storehouse being in a suburb, it's not surprising. Zoning, for one, isn't a strong point. The other is that it allows the IRGC to have assets near Tehran for both defense of the capitol and to combat civil insurrection.

But mostly the reason is that if the storehouse (or their nuke facilties) gets hit in an attack, there's civilian casualties.
