For real attack? Or could the Iranians themselves be doing it to pretend they are being attacked?

CNBC is reporting the Reuters story and the market is down 20 points in the pre-market.

Stock futures market is selling off hard, so some people are taking this seriously.

And if it was an attack, why would it be done in daylight?

"Anybody know of a map showing where all the different secret underground Iranian nuclear rearch facilities/warehouses are?"

Probably on E-Bay.

That wouldn't surprise me. The mullahs' "cry for sympathy" from a population that hates them.

Scratch the no-link bit. From Sky News:
An unknown aircraft has fired a missile in a deserted area near Dailam where Iran has a nuclear power plant, Iranian state television has said.

More follows . .

If this is the real deal, I think we now know why Sharon was willing to make concessions to the PA to get things settled down. He didn't need the extra headache.

I think it might be a place called Bandar-e Deylam which is on the southwest coast directly across Persian Gulf from Kuwait.

Just a guess....I couldn't find any currect reference to Dailam

Likely their own clinton-up, and the "airborne missile" is a cover story.

Our CINC doesn't like to only hit camel butts, so my guess is that if it was from our guys the target was a nuke facility.

But what would one missile do ...

You would think they would have to bomb the hell out of the place to really ensure nothing would be saved ....

Sky News is reporting that Reuters is repoerting that Iranian tv is reporting.

The Mullahs may be ginning up "An Incident" to justify their next move.
