Clearly, global warming is to blame. Better to raise taxes, just in case.

Anyway, standards are not very high in ME, so it is likely that there are frequently accidents. US agencies are surely not involved. This would have leaked out and agents would be afraid of criminal prosecution by congressional dems or Hillary. Also, occasional sabotage is probably not very efficient and it would be risky (double agents might be exposed etc).

Internal opposition groups (balochi sunnis etc) may be involved, though.

The explosions reportedly started in missile industries section of the Site. When shrapnel of the explosions hit another sections, eight other warehouses located next to each other were engulfed in flames.

I thought that one of the first rules was that you never concentrate your various sensitive development programs and/or explosives in one place. I thought that lesson went back at least as far as the first use of Bomber planes in WWI.

Just another case of Premature Jihadulation.

If your jihad last longer than four hours, consult your doctor.

Without reading the whole thread I am going with total F/U by Iranians themselves. Probably accidental, but hey, knowing them, they could always point the finger at someone else. They wouldn’t want the world to think they were inept or anything.
