LOL!! (literally. I think I woke up the cat in the other room, though.)

Think I’ll hit abuse on breaking news from Debka. Even if it’s true, you can’t believe it if it comes from there.

How long has this revolution been going on? It's like the mullahs think they're commies.

[InMemoriam]

Zero confirmation on Twitter. During the unrest in Teheran, there was a torrent of Twitter activity, day after day.

This didn’t happen.

Wow. Catastrophic.. Gas line accident or bomb? Where’d ya pick that photo up from? A tall, heavily occupied building says it was a bomb. Payback for Iran’s involvement in pushing ISIS back in Iraq or a Yemeni group, maybe?

A diversion from the Israeli attack on nuke sites?

What Israeli attack on nuke sites?

[Forward the Light Brigade]

My bet—its IS—just showing the Mullahs they can hit them and hit them hard. Expect more attacks soon.

Ah. Make the Blue Mosque will turn neon green.

Who knows, maybe the Saudis dropped their "wallet" on Iran.

Kind of a little payback/warning thing.............Just saying.

[combat_boots]

Get ‘em, guys.

Some new natural gas storage facilities being built in city centers

Seems a might bit risky to the population centers to me...

This is Debka, so, probably worth Bupkis. Thanks Dave346 .
