Iran may have tested a series of nuclear weapons underground. The Israel Insider reported:
Iranian source: “Quake” Saturday was nuclear bomb test October 28, 2008 at 11:00amIsrael Insider exclusively reports that a seismic event this weekend in southern Iran may in fact have been a massive underground nuclear bomb test. According to the USGS, the tremor measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale took place Saturday night, October 25 just before midnight Iran time, with its epicenter at 26.70°N, 55.02°E, just north of the strategic straits of Hormuz, opposite Abu Dhabi.
The claim that the tremor was in fact a nuclear test came from an Iranian nuclear scientist who claims to be working in uranium enrichment for the project. A report published by Israel Insider on Friday, October 24 included a captionless map that portrayed the area of the seismic event that occurred the following night, based on location information previously provided by the Iranian source.
Israel Insider’s source reports that the test is in fact the second in a series. A 4.8 Richter scale event occurred on October 21 with an epicenter (26.70N, 54.96E) within 5 km (3 miles) of the October 25 tremor.
Israeli and foreign sources have long speculated that Iran has been in possession of ready nuclear bombs but would only begin testing them when a full production line for nuclear weapons is in place.
The source indicated that Iran is being assisted by China and North Korea. Israel Insider’s Iranian source reports that two “nuclear rockets” have been completed and are intended for use against the Jewish State in the coming months.
The site of the test and the development facility are believed to be in close proximity. The location appears to have been carefully selected. The area is exposed to significant seismic activity, which could serve to mask nuclear tests, although the recent spike in activity in that specific area significantly deviates from historical trends. A tremor measuring 6.2 struck the area on September 10, 2008 (its epicenter was 80km or 50 miles due west), the largest seismic event in the area in more than 33 years.
The location on the Persian Gulf near the straits of Hormuz would also facilitate delivery and transport of material and personnel. the strategic importance of the immediate area may also be intended to deter potential strikes against the facilities, which could close down the flow of a substantial percentage of the world’s oil.
There has been NOTHING in the mainstream media about this. Perhaps they think it would help the McCain/Palin ticket!
Yeah, I wish Jim would block new sign ups for six months prior to a Presidential election. That would stop a lot of this trolls from posting this kind of crap.
Story is complete and utter garbage.
Said earthquake was at a depth of 35 kilometers. Hence, impossible to be a nuke.
The area in question has plenty of natural seismicity. And if the Iranians were to test, they’d not be testing there anyway.
No story here.
Bush had 8 years to remove this most deadly of all threats, but he didn’t. Why?
It certainly should be. One very sharp detonation with no pre-event rumblings. A very specific initial pressure gradient. No long duration aftershocks. One very centralized epicenter as opposed to wide “plate shifting” areas.
An “OH NO” ping to you...
as if we don’t have enough to worry about!
I dunno. But other countries pick up the seismic trace and they'll know the difference.
This is a BS report. You can easily distinguish a nuclear test from a quake.
Report is false.
get it to Drudge asap.
yes, the nuke is an instant spike and an earthquake builds. I wouldn’t get worked up over this. Everyone and their brother in the mid-east would know if it really happened.

Way too deep to be a tremor from a nuke test.
Well, well, well, who would have expected a thing like this?
Funny, I don’t recall the Shah of Iran threatening to wipe out Israel, let alone seeking to develop a nuclear weapons capability.
Of course what do I know, Jimmy Carter said he thought the Ayatollah Khomeini was a ‘godly’ man and shoved the shiv into the back of the Shah with relish.
We can thank the Buffoon from Plains for starting this chain of events, and if our current Commander-in-Chief has any testosterone left in his ‘Rat-neuterized scrotum, maybe he’ll finally drop the hammer on those Islamofascist thugs in Tehran.
I think this is what biden was talking about. If obama wins Iran will attack Israel with a nuke after the inauguration and obama will do nothing.

What's the big deal. We know they're developing a bomb, we know they intend to use it, that they'd test it is obvious.
So Drudge can embarrass himself more? This is non-news. Iran is a threat and they are developing nukes... but this wasn’t a nuke test.
An the Jews will vote 4 u kno who
No, they will not be more open to us. The long term goal, as it has been for centuries, is to destroy the West. That will not have changed if Israel is destroyed; it is just a step.
I also fervently hope to be wrong.
