Breaking News - Explosions Rock Iran Military Site

Tuesday/Wednesday, November 13/14 - about 4 a.m. Sources inside and outside Iran.

A series of explosions rocked the Parchin Military Site (where missiles, including "cruise" type missiles, are manufactured) at Varamin south of Tehran.

The Shahab 3, 4 and more recently Shahab 5 solid fuel missiles at the site are hidden in old salt mines in the mountain face in the area, further excavated and furbished for development and manufacture.

The main purpose of this Ministry of Defense site, established by the late Shah's father - Reza Shah Kabir - in the early 1900's and taken over by the IRGC, had been and has been to manufacture ammunition, chemical explosives and more recently short range rocket missiles.

The exacavated salt mines for longer range missile technology have been expanded by the Mullah regime.

More than likely, the explosives, IED's, rockets and similar items of Iranian manufacture showing up in Iraq and Afghanistan were largely produced at Parchin.

They have a genyoowine imitation cruise missile.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Their “cruise missiles” may not be anything sophisticated by current standards. The German V-1 was a cruise missile.

[Fairview]

Bush’s fault.

With a base in Iraq and Afghanistan, covert missions sure wouldn’t be too hard to do would they?

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

"The reported "slowdown" within Iraq of the arrival of Islamic Iran's weapons may indicate that available supplies had dwindled inside Iran and the IRGC/Ghods Brigade leadership had just manufactured a new supply - which went up in several big booms.....The final area of the explosion reportedly had a radius of one kilometer."

Ooooops.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Funny how many of these accidental massive military explosions have happened in Axles of Evil countries. N Kor, Syria, Iran.

The really have to be more careful with their toys, don't they? ;O)

Another interesting incident the day before, I believe:

Czech military monitored Iranian plane (radioactive material aboard)

[Phsstpok]

They have purchased Chinese Silkworm cruise missiles in the past and I believe that they licensed manufacturing rights.

I have heard Navy Seals referred to many ways, but never as “Divine intervention” before

of course I could never figure out why Green Berets were called “sneaky peaches,” so anything’s possible.

[Romneyfor President2008]

They’ve had Silkworms since the 80’s. :-)

[TigerLikesRooster]

An encouraging news.

Both Iran and Iraq used Chinese Silkworm anti-ship cruise missiles in the 1980’s.

[G Larry]

That’s OK, their checks clear the banks in China and Russia.

[Dick Vomer]

That is some of the best news I have heard in quite a while. One can only hope that it was some very special sabotage (by the US, UK or Israel). Or not. Godincidence is OK, too :)

I bet one of these fellers know what happened.
