Ummmmm.....oh yeah.....it would show that their N477 Thermocouple doesn’t work right and it would throw the Iranian natural gas parts industry into turmoil allowing the decadent West to have hegemony over this industry. That, or because Iran is run by sh-theads.

Probably an armed, stealth drone like the X-47B.

I’m not sure the nuke processing facility was the site in the video where the cloud is rising from the incident. I used Google Earth to locate several possible camera points based off the mountains visible in addition to the direction of the sunlight. This appears to be relatively early in the morning with the sun to the right of the frame. I base it to be morning off news reports and that later in the day the official news agency changed its story.

So my quest was to pick various points around the areas south of the nuclear facility, then tilt the terrain view and could not find the mountain profile that matched the video. If it were possible to know the location of who took the video we could then do the same thing and then follow a line of sight path to see what falls in it.

There just doesn’t seem to be much in the way of infrastructure between this point and the peaks suggesting the video point is possibly north of Isfahan so I am off on an adventure to see if I can find this industrial location and then use the bearings suggested by the sunlight to see what is out there.

I think you might be referring to the explosion prior to this one outside of Tehran at the IRGC missile facility.

Is this the location of the suspected explosion?

32.586997° 51.796273°

That is the location that was presented in the story of the thread. It was a real old site and no much to speak of. If you see the video, the explosion area was much larger based on the plume coming off the surface behind the small mountains on the horizon. not much disturbed on the site with the exception of the buildings mentioned and the cargo containers they say are heavy equipment are no longer there.

In the latest GE images, the one area that was excavated was already in a state of some work. I am going to speculate that it was actually some other site where the explosion occurred.

Okay, we all know who that flying squirrel was, a true American hero named.....ROCKY, along with his distinguished partner, Bullwinkle.

Maybe the X-37B is full of ‘em.

"Rods From GOD "

I'm astounded we haven't seen more conjecture on the subject in the news.

A 20ft rod, 2ft in diameter...with guidance...could hit a spot with a 5ft CEP at 7500 MPH. The resulting explosion would resemble a small nuke and could penetrate 300ft of rock/concrete.

Without a trace.

No radar signature, no fallout, no explosive scrap or shrapnel.

Smaller rods could be deployed against individual human targets. For instance, a 5ft rod which was but 1inch in diameter would take out a big house and kill everyone in it.

A country with good space lift could put a BUNCH of those up pretty quickly.

Every strike untraceable.

Looks like the war against Iran is being fought in a different way.

More like superpower-sponsored ‘terrorism’.
