Bull crap, it would have been the first bomb in the history of bombs that left no crater. Ground level explosion on concrete pad.

Good show, to whomever got in there and did the trick. Spectacular. They will win a nice, shiny award, but will never be able to show it off outside of the confines of their organization no doubt. Hip Hip Hooray!

An explosion in one building occurred causing sympathetic explosions in other buildings.Sympathetic explosions of what, in every single other bulding? That doesn't even match the official Iranian position
...saying that it happened while ammunitions were being moved.
To: neverdem
Wow. Amazing amount of damage.
Here's an Israeli reaction:
"Not every explosion over there should be tied to reconnaissance and stories from the movies," Dan Meridor, Israel's minister for intelligence and atomic matters, told Army Radio. Saying, "it isn't right to expand on this topic," Meridor nonetheless went on to acknowledge that espionage has set back Iran's nuclear program. "There are countries who impose economic sanctions and there are countries who act in other ways," Meridor said.
The lack of craters is very curious to me. The "after" picture was apparantly taken ten days after the -- ahh -- "event." The Iranians might have filled in any craters during that time, as a face-saving gesture.
But other, more interesting explanations come to mind as well.

There was another one yesterday, reportedly bigger, near Isfahan. Maybe it was their ground fleet of F-14’s that are now ready for the Alcoa recycling plant.

High explosives (ammo, my azz) - either missle parts or compression chamber.
Israel loudly rattles the sabre two weeks ago....

A commercial satellite image of a military base in Iran taken after a deadly explosion.
Shouldn't that read, "after at least 7 deadly explosions"?

Of course, that may just be... where the outhouse pit was--

Indeed.
1) Separate explosions with radial debris fields
2) NO noticable cratering.
Hmmmmmmmm.
Busy bees at work.......... :-)

It was impossible to determine from the images whether the explosion had been a simple accident or an act of sabotage.

No, not big enough, to cause that kind of damage it would be a big damn hole.
