Islamic regime fears poisonous fallout clouds could hit cities

Radiation is leaking from Iran’s nuclear facility at Fordow, which suffered devastating explosions on Jan. 21, WND has learned, and the regime has ordered millions of antidote iodine pills from Russia and Ukraine amid fears the radioactivity will spread.

Many of the personnel, who arrived after the explosion to assist with the cleanup at the site, have been taken to a military hospital suffering from headache, nausea and vomiting, according to a source in the security forces protecting Fordow.

A special team of nuclear experts was ordered to the site days ago, the source said, and detected high levels of radiation.

-snip-

Iran denied the incident, and its official news agency, IRNA, in a report, called WND a “mouthpiece of the CIA” and Reza Kahlili a CIA agent whose reporting was mere propaganda by the West. Regime media have also attacked Hamidreza Zakeri, a former officer of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence, now living in Europe, who has provided information on the Fordow explosion and other valuable insights into the regime’s illicit nuclear activities.

In an unusual move on Jan. 29, the spokeswoman for the International Atomic Energy Agency, Gill Tudor, emailed reporters a brief statement: “We understand that Iran has denied that there has been an incident at Fordow. This is consistent with our observations.”

When pushed by WND, however, Tudor could neither confirm nor deny the incident had taken place and would not say whether IAEA inspectors had visited the site after the explosions, despite some media reports that they had.

It looks like Iran's NorK nuclear experts didn't get it right. Ooops. Now taking bets on how much of Iran starts glowing in the dark.

Yes, I read Abrams’ account of all the things that transpired and was fascinated by it.

But as I recall there was all sorts of information from different sources coming in about the Syrian reactor strike. Not all was accurate, but it was clear something big happened and it didn’t all rely on a single source initially (an individual).

Because nuclear fallout — that’s one of those things that everybody wants to just ignore and hope it goes away


They only want to ignore it if it involves a friend of theirs and obama. Japan was fair play.

Nuclear scientists may all die due to radiation poisoning.

Iran never really popularly experienced Hiroshima and Nagasaki and their aftermath, along with the nuclear education that came with the Cold War. This has created a very bad sense among “The Iranians on the street” about what nuclear weapons are and do.

Other than being “a big bomb”, for many nuclear weapons appear to give Iran everything it wants. Power, respect, fear, wealth. The parallels with pre-World War II Japan are unsettling.

So what Iran really needs right now is a bad nuclear accident, to convince them that nuclear weapons have a heavy price, and few real rewards.

They need to see each other suffer with radiation poisoning, radiation burns, and the temporarily collapsed immune systems that come later, with resultant horrific diseases.

They must learn that nukes come with a terrible price.

Well, additions to those clouds wouldn’t be noticed much now, eh, Reza? IMO, university feminists won’t stop Iran from mounting such weapons, so our military forces should get on with it.

Wow the Iranian regime sounds just like ours.

Good point... remember way back when - when most of us felt proud to be Americans?

LOL, that really sums it up with these clowns.

But where is the Yiddish “sub-title”? ;-)

Speaking of the works of Wile E. Koran, has Dorner been made into an honorary Jihadi yet? Seems a shame that he went to all that trouble to score on multiple levels of evil and stupid, without so much as a “Allah FUBAR” parade in his memory.

Haha. Reminds me of the Far Side cartoon with God's finger hovering above the "smite" button. :)

Is it Israel’s fault yet? Did Mossad do it yet? Did the CIA help yet? Oh, when, oh, when, oh, when will we get blamed?

We have not visited the site after the explosion, which did not happen, according to government sources. This is consistent with our non-observations, as we are too busy doing the three-monkey shuffle. Later, Israel will be blamed.
