If that is the place (big if) then it is unlikely one explosion would cause the other ordnance to go off.
Each of the bunker would have to have been targeted which means it was not an accident but an attack by someone that has the capabilities to reach Tehran without being caught on radar. I wonder who has that capabilities?
so does Iran
They were probably storing multiple missiles in each bunker and one or two bunkers blew up.
I would go with Iranian screw up over attack, because the Iranian military appears to be where the screws up in Iran go for work.
In addition to covert means and cyber war capabilities, the Israelis have a special model F-35 adapted to their needs.
I agree. That is a very well designed munitions storage facility. I like the spacing, the berms, the alternating openings to each building. All of it reduces the changes of a conflagration.
Yes, hard to see how the set would have all gone off at once from the first explosion - if they ran the bomb dump properly. But.
The Iranian military I have had to teach and to work with (back pre-revolution under the Shah) were not even capable of being incompetent. Treacherous, sneaky, underhanded, intensely loyal to their own internal group - while laughing at and passively rebelling against the US military trying to train them?
Absolutely. But capable? I never saw any evidence for it.
I suspect most whom we were forced to train were killed immediately when the revolution started. Those that did not leave the country, flee to safety as “unknown refugees” and hide were near-certainly killed.
Or they joined the revolution and were suddenly its most intimate torturers and thieves.
