The secret site where Iran is suspected of developing long-range ballistic missiles capable of reaching targets in Europe has been uncovered by new satellite photographs.
The imagery has pinpointed the facility from where the Iranians launched their Kavoshgar 1 “research rocket” on February 4, claiming that it was in connection with their space programme.
Analysis of the photographs taken by the Digital Globe QuickBird satellite four days after the launch has revealed a number of intriguing features that indicate to experts that it is the same site where Iran is focusing its efforts on developing a ballistic missile with a range of about 6,000km (4,000 miles).

Welcome to 1938.
They’ll probably be gone or hidden tomorrow. That is why Liberals are so lolly-gagging about Iraq and “No WMDs” because we sat on the pot for so many years and when we were anticipating invasion we let Saddam Hussein be interviewed by Dan Rather and even commanded him to go into exile, all in enough time to hide the friggin’ evidence! That is what bugs me, the fact that we are like some silly parent who lets our son put drugs in the toilet and flush it before we open the door after issuing 70 warnings.(hey I am going to invade your country in 80 days because you possess WMDs that are in violation of the UN charter.)
This is sort of what is going on, and I will not be surprised if UPS Russia shows up a day before any strikes or even a full-scale invasion(which will happen 60 days after a call for one. Good enough time to hide things) to recover the “artillery”. Gives me gas.
Check it out for yourself:
I think the guy on the right has to pee.
Outstanding post.....
quiz..... a while back, the site was described in deteil before the structures shown were built. What is beside the warehouses?
There are only two....suni and shia. Wahabbis are all suni.
a mosque? Child day care? the milk factory?
As I recall, the gray curved section is the headwall to a tunnel and one of the hardened sites.
We don't have the men, material, or the will to do anything about it. Taking on Iran would be a much bigger task than Iraq, and we are stretched very thin as it is.
I don’t. I just take what I can understand and leave the rest to Him, but I still wonder about everything and always ask questions.
Does the description of Europe’s business dealings with Iran remind you of another Middle Eastern country? Hello? Bueller?
Bueller: I’ll take Iraq for 50 dollars and some oil for food.
Considering that Russia has connections to both(and in the past with Putin has discouraged us from attacking Iran in any way, shape or form) this is all starting to fit into the narrative.
I really don’t think that AhMAD is as devious as Saddam is, so in an answer to another post I expect that he won’t run the controversial materials to his friends in a few days(even with the lid being blown off). However, we haven’t declared war on Iran yet. I do believe that the big problem is that we are not calling for an overthrow of the current regime but rather trying to take the moral relativist to grips that his insanity cannot handle nuclear weapons but we, the sane ones according to people outside AhMAD’s thinking sphere, can.
I only agree with Jimmy Carter in that it is very hard imagining that you are very right, in a moral relativistic world, to do anything(including building nukes) when your big enemies are doing the same time. That is how a dictator thinks and the only way to knock some sense is to allow a country to build nukes, if they want to and it seems necessary, under a peaceful and Democratic regime. An extremist thinks that they are always right so they feel cruelly insulted when they are told not to join the big man’s club.
Oops, made my post a little bit incoherent(even more incoherent than the usual incoherency of my posts).
On my last paragraph about moral relativism and how we should be calling for regime change for Iran and North Korea, I meant same thing instead of “same time”
LSA. The thunderstorms yesterday were nice.
I'm on my way back to the US from Baghdad for a BREAK!
Still Ku-waiting to leave, though...
Where are you...Arafjan?
I hate to be obtuse, but something doesn’t look right. According to something I read earlier today, this rocket is a three-stage job with the first two stages fueled with some sort of liquid propelant and the third stage using solid fuel.
I don’t care how inept we may wish they are, they don’t assemble a machine like that outside on a sand dune. There has to be an assembly building somewhere and to move the unit to the launch pad will require a wide, straight road. I don’t see either one of those things.
Granted, assembly could be done in an underground bunker and the actual launch from a silo but it’s not likely they’d build a silo for an experimental rocket. I’ve looked at our silos (also via Google) and I don’t see much to compare between ours and theirs
This facility obviously has some military value. The berms built up as blast shields all laid out in neat rows is a real clue but I still don’t see a launch facility here.
Good idea, and we can do a live demo in Tehran.
