Explosion close to a port of the south of Iran
TEHERAN - an explosion whose origin remains not identified is produced Wednesday morning in an uninhabited zone close to the Iranian port of Daylam, on the Gulf, brought back Iranian television in Arab language Al Alam, according to which witnesses saw passing an aircraft not identified.
Daylam is to approximately 150 km of the first Iranian nuclear thermal power station in construction with Bouchehr.
Witnesses paid to have seen passing an aircraft not identified before the explosion does not occur, indicated Al Alam.
The official ones were dispatched on the spot to identify the origin of the deflagration, said a person in charge for the gouvernorat to Al Alam.
A "governmental source" Iranian declared with Al Alam that the explosion could be caused by a tank of kerozene fallen from an Iranian apparatus.
The explosion was heard with 10H10 local (6H40 GMT), according to Al Alam.

Hmm.. I guess Daylam and Dailam aren't the same city.
Unknown aircraft fires missile in Iran - state TV
DUBAI, Feb 16 (Reuters) - An unknown aircraft fired a missile on Wednesday in a deserted area near the southern city of Dailam in the province of Bushehr where Iran has a nuclear power plant, Iranian state television said.
"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 (12 miles) from the city," Iran's Arabic language Al-Alam said.
I like reading that one slowly.
Another possible explanation that would explain an air-launched misile is that an Iranian aircraft launched a missile against an UAV, missed, and then struck the ground. The mullahs did say they would go after them, didn't they?
