On October 5, a 4.5 magnitude earthquake struck near Semnan, Iran, raising online suspicions of a nuclear test amid escalating tensions with Israel. While some claim this could be related to Iran’s nuclear program, there is no concrete evidence to support the theory. Iran’s nuclear ambitions date back to the 1950s, with its current capacity to build a bomb under scrutiny.

1. 10 km deep is deeper than necessary, and to take the time to dig a shaft that deep would be visible from commercial satellites.
2. Given all the US and likely Israeli intel ops, there is no way Iran could hide building an underground test site in secrecy, no matter where it is. Deception is not possible.
3. As much as we don't like Iran's government, they aren't so twisted they would risk irradiating a section of one of their major highways and a dozen towns when better alternatives are obviously available.
May that arrogant evil man rot forever!
Too deep, the deepest US test was 5800 feet, for a 5 megaton device. Nuke seismic signals are very distinctive, and not like quakes.
As I posted this, we had a very loud alarm here in Haifa, immediately followed by explosions that made the windows vibrate. My wife heeded the warning and went into the safe room downstairs. I kept at my work, but closed the door to the side room, so any flying glass wouldn’t hit me. That’s just how I am.
If a nuclear bomb is used, which I doubt will ever happen, we’ll all be dead or dying. So why miss working. I lost enough time building my succah (festival temporary booth), which is still not finished.
So bombs, shmombs. We’re all in G-d’s hands.
10Km is 6.2 miles deep. The deepest mine on Earth is 4.0 KM in South Africa.
There are old mine shafts that could be used. I don’t know.
Rumor intended to mitigate Israel’s inevitable response, and steer it far away from Obama’s / the mullahs’ nuke program.
I figured it was a deep penetrator courtesy of IDF.
I was going to post much the same.
If it was a nuclear test, they know it.
They may not acknowledge it publicly.
But, they know.
This is just stupid.
There are two faults . . . north and south of Semnan. Tarood fault. North Alborz fault. Either could be the source of the data.
If there were no faults nearby, okay then you can think nuke — provided you think they are so stupid as to do that anywhere near all those cities. Somebody already noted this.
Look, you get a lot of Uranium and you centrifuge the U235 content up north of 50%. That’s a nuke, though 80% is more solid. Or . . . you take 5% U235 post centrifuge and build a reactor, and in that reactor you cook up Plutonium, which is what most bombs use now.
This is all very well known stuff. Them having a nuke or not matters less than how many they have.
Quake detection said it was 18 miles deep.
Not a nuclear test.
A resounding NO. The quake was 10 miles deep.
This story has been around since the day after it happened. It was a little deep for a nuke test….but who knows. It could be why things are not happening as quickly as some might think they should.
Could remote seismometers be hacked to simulate the reports generated by the sensors if a real seismic event occured?
Could it have been a fabricated seismic report?
“Death to America...death to Israel” statements from Iran not twisted Enough?
I’m pretty sure they can tell the difference between natural earthquakes and those caused by nuclear tests, it has to do with the S and P waves.
Also a nuke test wouldn’t register as being 10+ km deep. 2 to 3km deep is more plausible.
They don’t know?
Cmon satellites above the earth know.
Again they lie.
The whole bloody thing was suspect, timing, question mark, that it’s just on an India news service. But nuclear is news, even if fake.
