A massive explosion was reported near Isfahan, Iran today. Isfahan is considered to be the primary location of the Iranian nuclear weapons program.

Explosions were also reported in Syria and Iraq on Friday morning.

The Iranian media is reporting three major explosions in Isfahan.

This is not the first time the Isfahan nuclear facility has been targeted.

UPDATE: Via ABC News – Iranian state television says nuclear facilities near Isfahan ‘fully safe’ after air defense batteries fired in area.

Now this — A Biden administration official blamed Israel for the attack. Why would the Biden regime do that?

CNN reported:

Israel has carried out a strike inside Iran, a US official tells CNN, in a move that threatens to push the region deeper into conflict.

The target is not nuclear, the official said.

Prior to the Israeli strike Friday (local time), the US expectation was that they would not target civilian or nuclear facilities, another senior US official told CNN.

CNN has previously reported that Israel told the US its response would be limited in scope. US intelligence had suggested Israel was weighing a narrow and limited strike inside Iran because they feel like they have to respond with a kinetic action of some kind given the unprecedented scale of the Iranian attack

But we can be certain that thanks to Biden, Israel did not carry out it’s original plan of dropping paratroopers into Tehran and nuking the rest of the country.

That’s literally in the least populated area of land owned by Iran.

The Israelis were just toying with Iran.

In the middle of nowhere.

They’re not stupid. They’re not going to put them close to areas where Israel will hit.

And Israel won’t hit anything other than these sites in Isfahan.

So it’s essentially all for show.

Amir had 3 separate videos, with details, in addition to his telegram channel. I had watched Eric Stackelbeck, on Watchmsn News, that the Israeli attack plans had been shelved. I have no idea if that was a deliberate part of the deception, since Eric is a personal friend of Amir’s. I think the attack came shortly after. 👍

I do not give Fox News such a wide benefit of doubt these days, so I cannot agree. Ever since the 2011 “course correction”, I have found them to be only marginally better than the mainstream competition; in particular, they are saying the same thing (a Biden administration official is the source) while putting “Israel (does such and such)” in their headline, which is dishonest and tedious.

I found good satellite coverage of Iran on the Pakistan government weather site, visible imagery with a loop over past few hours shows almost entirely clear skies over all of Iran (it is about noon local time), all you can see is a few snow-capped mountain peaks, no signatures of anything large-scale as far as bomb blasts. Will keep an eye on source until local nightfall around 7 hours from now.

A measured response several hours after once again Iran calling for Israel’s destruction.

“...Why would the Biden regime do that?...”

Because Iranians are in the USA State Department. What do you think traitorous Obama, Valerie Jarret and John Kerry have been doing the last 18 years. Those treacherous scumbags have installed dozens of Iranian spies all over the US government.

Israel cannot depend on discreet intelligence sharing with US agencies. They are ALL compromised.

When Washington DC gets nuked, allies will know about it (before it happens) and say nothing. /spit

It used to be said that the United States was a dangerous enemy but a treacherous ally. Now only half true.

They cloak themselves in the skin of our history and tradition of freedom and industriousness while unleashing sheer hell on the American people and plenty of the rest of the world.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Exactly right.

America is in the hands of a fascist coup. Anyone who believes that ANYTHING we see this Biden administration do has any cast of legitimacy is extremely deluded.

Our members of Congress in the House and Senate are mostly asleep. All but the freedom caucus deny the fascist coup as we watch in horror the weaponizing of our justice system against Trump and the People.

We watch as citizens who committed misdemeanors of Jan 6 are treated as felons while Dark Money from billionaires like SOROS destroys our prosecutioroal system to allow rampant crime in our streets, and fund anti Israel HAMAS protesters in order to justify the Biden administrations failed policy on Iran, and sacrificing Israel, our long time ally, and the People of YHWH.

ANYONE, who does not understand the illegitimate Biden administration as a projection of the America hating Obama administration is not only deluded, but bordering on the traitorous.

TRUMP supporters need to get out the vote in swing states and make sure that the effort to defend America from fascism PUTS BALLOTS IN THE BALLOT BOXES of swing states. Without that, the light of freedom in America will dim, our civil rights will diminish to mere dreams of the past, and we will become subjects of a fascist ruling class instead of being a free people.

Not only is Biden disguising the destruction of America with his geriatric incompetence ( a myth, he is an extension of Obama-SOROS etc,), but their destruction of the sovereignty of America is consistently applied via demographic warfare waged against America across the Southern Border.

Its time for Americans who are patriots to step up, fund the reelection of Trump and fund counter coup organizations so we can fight them on the streets,which the GOP has lacked in res[ponse, and that the Fascist secure by default, cowing the People into silence.

Let us rid ourselves of this fascist pestilence, by at least calling them what they are...illegitimate, election stealing fascists.GOP Congress people need to stop wool gathering and pretending otherwise and fight this coup.

The Israelis must deliver an equitable response. They’re about 295 missles short of such a response.

But on whether Israel actually attacked Iran or whether the story from an obscure source is fake or not...wouldn’t checking ANY mainstream news source be the first logical thing to check even if they are super Left and woke like MSNBC etc?
