Another deadly explosion was heard in western Tehran on Friday, according to local reports of a blast at a missile warehouse.

However, sources claim there have been more than one in multiple regions. An intelligence official told The New York Times said that Israel was possibly behind the attack.

Initial reports say the confirmed blast hit a missile warehouse belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Authorities have not yet provided any information on the cause of the blasts.

Journalist Hasan Sari claims there was more than one explosion, with others hitting the regions of Garmdareh and Quds.

Social media users have confirmed at least one of these, with one writing: “Another explosion in Iran, this time in west Tehran, causing power outage”.

Somehow the weapon eruption virus which causes gun violence to erupt in the US seems to have mutated in Iran. They’re having an epidemic of missile violence eruptions.

Any chance the Iranians are blowing things up themselves to cover their “research”?

What a coincidence. Or perhaps not.

Or Americans operating highly-upgraded F-117’s from bases in the Persian Gulf (remember, while the F-117 is “retired,” the planes were never really sent to AMARC in Arizona and some planes are still flying for test purposes).

Would be awesome, but I don’t think they would risk it. I’m thinking these are operatives sabotaging facilities directly. Would not be surprised if Saudis were also involved. Either way they are doing what needs to be done. Have to stop them NOW just in case Pres Trump loses.

The word on the street is that the bombs were set by the Persepolis Guard, a Persian splinter group that is violently opposed to the tyrannical theocracy of the narrow minded Islamic mullahs.

The Persepolis guard isi thought to have roots in Canada where many Iranians have fled to relative safety.

Yep. I admire them yet dislike (and fear) them at the same time. lol. Probably the most effective covert agency in the world. They are absolutely necessary yet (allegedly) engage in tactics I really do not care for (Epstein, ect.) But, yeah, sometimes you have play very dirty in the world they work in.

If that is the case, the Russians, Chinese and North Koreans have something new to worry about.

Not bad for an alleged POS.

I am told that Iran has the most extensive ground based radar system in the world.

Keeping an F-117 flying and stealthy is a monumental and incredibly expensive task.

Israel clearly knows how to deal with its enemies.

While it is possible to know 35s are in the vicinity, it is currently impossible to target one.
