Top Iran Missile Chief Reported Killed in Explosion
American Thinker ^ | November 20, 2011 | James Lewis

Posted on 11/20/2011 6:29:35 AM PST by Forgiven_Sinner

Last Monday a huge, double explosion was heard in Tehran. Based on Western spy satellites, the following picture is reported by Debka.com, a site close to Israeli intelligence, but also known for less than 100% accuracy.

1. The double blast involved an advanced Iranian Seijil-2 missile, and devastated a 20 square mile area of the Alghadir missile base of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, the inner guard of the regime. The devastated missile base is located 30 miles west of Tehran.

2. Thirty-six military funerals were held in the following days. The dead include the chief of Iran's ballistic missile program, Major Gen. Moghaddam, and other top missile experts.

Interesting speculation that a variant of the Stuxnet virus caused the speculation. Note that the source is Debka, which isn't 100% reliable.

Don’t rule out a stealthy drone dropping a stealthy smart bomb into a critical node. Or even a carbon fiber “soft bomb” that causes massive electrical shorting over a wide area. Not a good thing do release during a critical weapons test.

One thing I know for sure: The IDF is damn smart and capable of pulling some original tricks.

Can’t speak the truth any better than that!

My prayers for Israel.

” ... devastated a 20 square mile area of the Alghadir missile base of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards ...”

Well, it’s a start.

A TWENTY square mile area????

I don't think the bombs we dropped on Japan devastated more than a one square mile area each. I could be wrong about that.

Debka has jumped the shark.

That's being quite generous, I'd say.

Obama certainly isn't. He's too busy telling Canada to take the jobs Keystone will provide and stick them up Harper's ass.

Another back yard BBQ turns into tragedy because of inattention to proper propane gas grill maintenance.

I was thinking 20 square miles is a great area.

Sounds a bit like an exageration to me.

That;s an awful big explosion for something non-nuclear.

Looks like "Plan A" went off well.

But "Plan B" is still on the table.

Maybe something using the Weak Nuclear Force ~ with no radiation or radioactive isotope residue.

Lots of folks working on this idea and there's no reason it can't be used to make a bomb or two.

Something is wrong with this report. Twenty square miles can't be a "conventional" explosive - unless it was a twenty square mile munitions dump/refinery/fireworks factory. If it were nuclear I am supposing there would be other indications.
