Yediot Ahronot reported. on Friday that former Iranian intelligence officials who defected to the West claim that Iran’s underground Fordo uranium enrichment facility has been almost completely demolished, and hundreds of staff members are at this moment trapped underground, This has to be the worst blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions so far.

Another article citing WND. I really hope the story is true and serious damage has been done to Iran's program, but without more confirmation, how do we know?

I seriously doubt Obozo had anything to do with this. 1). he wouldn't want to attack his Muslim brotherhood. 2). He would already be bragging about it, if he did.

You are exactly right.

WND, an American news website...

..and there is the problem. WND may be right leaning, but they are closer to tabloid.

It would be cool, if a rogue element of our military decided to secretly test one of these bad boys on the Iranian facility.

Right, there’s been no ‘spiking of the ball’ lately.

Gotta think surveillance satellites would pick up something if it were nuclear related.

So far, all this comes to is, "Somebody said that somebody said...."

That being said, I hope it's true.

No chance whatsoever the limp-wristed, jug-eared muslim enabler had anything to do with this, if this event did in fact take place. Interesting that the communist-compliant propogandists passing as media have provided no word suggesting this has happened; must be awaiting instructions from Sparky.

Well, it is possible that he had a lot to do with it. For example, if he got wind of it beforehand, he would steer it to the best of his ability to limit the damage to just Fordo, and not a more systemic blast at other sites, Natanz, etc.

DEBKA has nothing on it so I believe it could be true.

I am not sure what I am looking at. Is this after the rumored incident? Do you have picture of before?

Re: I really hope the story is true and serious damage has been done to Iran's program, but without more confirmation, how do we know?

Some confirmation at http://www.richardsilverstein.com/2013/01/27/scoop-irans-fordo-nuclear-plant-extensively-damaged-by-sabotage/ where Richard Silverstein says:

“A highly-placed Israeli source informs me that Iran’s uranium enrichment facility at Fordo has been extensively damaged by an explosion. The bomb was the work of a joint Israeli-U.S.-MEK sabotage operation codenamed Achilles, which used a Trojan horse to infiltrate the plant.

SNIP

“...But given my source, who added further details not published by Fishman or Khalili, I trust there was an explosion at Fordo. Further, I spoke with an Israeli security correspondent whose work is entirely independent and trustworthy. He too is confident there was such an event. He also agreed the information I published above was accurate as far as what he knows.”

Hopefully this story has more truth than tabloid and with the Federal Judiciary starting to find and strike down The Obamanation’s unconstitutional ways and means—

I may sober up a little... and start wishing to live again!

If not true, it seems like we should be hearing denials out of Iran by now.

That would be great. I once told a bleeding heart lefty that we should use a small bunker busting nuke on one of the Iranian facilities and then act dumb about it. Suggest they made a mistake and must have accidentally set off one of their projects.

He became outraged at me. It was a little funny.
