Did they blowed up real good?
That kind of says it all, doesn't it? Great negotiating, Lurch. Why not send in Kirk? Or better yet, Korben Dallas?
Those explosives were for peaceful uses, didn’t you
see the sign...”Baby Explosive Milk Factory”.
Testing warheads with a Hammer again ?
Only two..well either way, win/win
This is close to the perfect scenario of how to convince the Iranians to quit screwing around. If, after an explosion like this, thousands of people in Tehran, downwind of this plant, started exhibiting severe symptoms of radiation poisoning, it would finally give “the typical Iranian on the street” the idea that nukes are not just “big bombs”, but truly horrifying things. And that Iranians are not immune from their effects.
While it is unfortunate that thousands would get sick and a large number would die, it could perhaps save millions from an even more horrible fate.
Of course, if the isotopes detected were of a kind only associated with nuclear weapons, it would be damning evidence of their weapons program.
It’s all up to Israel now.
Taking stuxnet to a whole new level...
Wow, that’s horrible.
What’s for dinner?

Two down. 1.6 billion to go.
Accidents happen—nuclear accidents can be really bad! Maybe the Iranians will blow up their own reactor by themselves.
