Another week, another explosion at or near an Iranian military installation (or is it a nuclear research facility?). As usual, the regime doesnt know what to say. The mullahcracy is so intensely divided that different spokesmen from different ministries/news outlets/cults/mafias put out different versions. There was an explosion, or at least the sound of an explosion. This goes out on the wires. Then, no, there was no explosion, it was just the sound of our fierce military training. Then again, yes, there was something, but not to worry, just go home and shut up. And so it goes in the Islamic Republic of Iran, as our president so loves to call his intended international partners.
Ive been reporting for many months about the ongoing sabotage of pipelines, refineries, military sites, Revolutionary Guards aircraft and trains, and groups of regime thugs. and have received the usual cold shoulder from publications of record, which is to say silent sneers. But the tempo of attacks, most notably the monster blast a week ago that vaporized General Moghaddam and his foreign visitors (at least some of whom had taken the shuttle from Pyongyang to be with him on what they wrongly expected would be a happy day) led the Washington Posts man in Tehran, Thomas Erdbrink, to note the phenomenon in a useful story entitled Mysterious Explosions Pose Dilemma for Iranian leaders. He gives us a pretty good rundown of the explosions, and, living as he does in Tehran, gives ample space to regime explanations such as bad welding, western sanctions, and so forth. Given the number of foreign journalists who have come to a bad end in Iran, youd do the same.

That is an interesting thought, but I think the spacecraft we have up there is a little too small. Never say never though, would be nice if the X-37B had such capabilities:)
