And a new rationale for the explosion:

Iran: "Geophysical Exploration" the cause of Southern Iranian blast.

Sounds like a rerun of the NK "dam building" operations.

Sounds like the Iranians are trying to cover up something.

I personally think it's President Bush's fault and more specifically due to his pursuit of FREEDOM for the world's people. Just ask any Democrat and they'll tell you that's what it is. /sarc

Now that is an interesting thought!

Seems like they have spamming a lot of different stories,...like they were trying to confuse everyone.

Maybe they were trying a test, and it was a lot bigger than what they expected!

Thnaks.

t'would not be too bright doing low yield testing in a seismically sensitive area.

"CIA Director Porter Goss, at a Senate briefing, said, "I know nothing in my official position."

Now THAT is an honest bureaucrat!

blast was heard minutes after an Iranian airplane flew over

While they were jumping the gun on blaming us and threatening to shoot us down - it's too bad they didn't shoot it down - nincompoops

You may have won a prize. All the responses points to hostile attack. I have never heard any real and readable news from the mullahs and their spin propaganda machine. If by that smallest of chance it was an accident, it must have been very untimely and didn’t fit the “we will destroy anyone who attacks us” timing. Wouldn’t now be a perfect time to play that Islamic patriotic card against US and Israel? Or maybe they know no one will show up in their rally but the hired Syrians and Palestinians. I bet this is the first round of the game Chicken, and the mullahs are spinning damage control to cover-up their absolute incompetence and they still don’t know how it happened since they don’t believe the eyewitnesses. Maybe next week a satellite with decaying orbit accidentally crashes on the nuke plant. One never knows!!!

It’s all in levity. But just maybe, the truth will not be anywhere near what mullahs spew. Just maybe!!!
