AN IRANIAN nuclear facility has been hit by a huge explosion, the second such blast in a month, prompting speculation that Tehran's military and atomic sites are under attack. Satellite imagery seen by The Times confirmed that a blast that rocked the city of Isfahan on Monday struck the uranium enrichment facility there, despite denials by Tehran.

Britain has just given the Iranian Embassy 48hours to pack their bags and leave.

What a truly odd coincidence.

What could possibly be causing all these explosions??

I doubt that highly. The West is moving against a nuclear Iran and the Iranian regime, which has boasted of its invincibility, has to pretend that nothing is happening because it cannot effectively retaliate or admit that it is not in control.

The move against the Saudis was stupid and effectively removed all regional objections to a countermove against Iran.

This is what I am thinking. Kinetic hyper-velocity projectiles.

I love the Israelis! When you visit the country, in spite of the routine questioning and sometimes grilling, you feel safe there. I love Israel. When I arrived on my first visit, and drove to Jerusalem, I felt that I had come home!

President Achmendinejad,
A boy all recognize as bad,
Likes to play with nukes,
Makes us all wanna puke,
That is, except for Mossad.

So Israel is blowing up Iranian nuclear plants and Iran is just sitting there taking it?

They weren't given a choice. Fine.

Looks like an “industrial accident” to me.

Now they have to update the sign: “0 days without an accident”.

I don’t think I’d like to be working there. I doubt that Iran’s equivalent of OSHA has much teeth.

I’m so sorry. I can’t even imagine how painful this must be. Do you still have family there?

Misleading, inaccurate headline. The Tehran explosion wasn’t at nuke facility.

My money is on Israel. Or a rouge, God-fearing element of our military.

If Hussein authorized it, I’m surprised...and certain he is doing it to help his re-election. I am not convinced he cares a whit about our nation’s security, or Israel’s security.

On a ‘totally unrelated note’ the x-37-b is going to stay up in orbit a little while longer...

Someone should warn the iranians nuclear power can be very dangerous in the wrong hands. And now they’ve found that out twice.

There was a story a while ago that involved a new, enormous and self guiding bomb that our military had produced. I wonder if we’re testing it out?
