No doubt the DUmmies, and the wacko conspiracy theorist will say that the C.I.A had something to do with it.

Naw, it's just our allies, the Annanaki who were left behind, and their deep earth earthquake machines. On behalf of the Galactic Federation, they're sending a message to the Iranians to stop with the Nukes while they are ahead. It's all planned. Nothing to worry about.
