Dailam is in the mountainous region on the southwest bank of the Caspian Sea. I don't think it's a city, but a region.

Can you imagine living in the apartment building and not knowing what was under you?

I can't remember what the source of the article was (could've been DEBKA for all I know) but it sounded like a smart thing to do, assuming you don't care about the people living on top of it.

IIRC, the Soviets used a cover story in an attempt to mask the meltdown at Chernobyl. History repeating itself?

The global leftist media can make any crazy terrorist look normal. And anyone fighting back look like a bully.

ie, Israel, for the last 30 years.

Be prepared for a quick spike, then flip.

If the CIA has one, it was bought by CBS journalists at the "Secret Spy and Journalist" Hotel in Tehran for a few dinars from a suspicious character by the name of "Hassan."

From Haarez:
Report: Unknown aircraft fires missile in nuclear province

By News Agencies



Iranian state TV reported Thursday afternoon that an aircraft had fired a missile at an area south of the city of Dailam in the Bushehr province of Iran.




"A powerful explosion was heard this morning on the outskirts of Dailam in the Bushehr province. Witnesses said that the missile was fired from an unknown plane 20 km from the city," Iran's Arabic language Al-Alam said.

Bushehr is where Iran has one of its nuclear power plant, over which the international community has expressed concern. Iran insists that the facilities are to produce energy and not for atomic weapons.

I would think that if we or the Israelis were trying to destroy Iran's nuclear capability, we'd hit multiple sites all over the country.

Something's not adding up here.

Wouldn't surprise me either. Who knows, but color me skeptical until we know a whole lot more. Iran and Syria are putting out joint propaganda saying they are being ganged up on and feel threatened, so they are making a pact against their enemies. Boohoohoohoo!! WAAAAH, WAAAAH!!!!! Now this..."Hey, our enemies are SHOOTING MISSILES at us!!! See, see...we're not the bad guys; they are!!!"

ya,....but posting it is not very likely...LOL!

This is the internet man!

Can you see them scurrying around if it were published?

That would be more humiliating than actually destroying them all...
