What We Know.  

Fordow has become 'Iran's most heavily fortified facility', officials say. AP

Reza Kahlili reported Friday 25 that there had been an underground explosion at the secret Fordo nuclear enrichment facility in Iran.  The details included the closure of a major roadway nearby following the event.  The report also mentioned many technicians trapped underground, perhaps more than 200.   Reza Kahlili and I then discussed the report earlier in the week of an emergency meeting in Ahmadinejad's office in Tehran.  We reported on Wednesday evening 23 January that the meeting in Tehran was in anticipation of a covert operation by Israel or the US at Iranian nuke facilities.  But then on Friday we reasoned that perhaps the meeting on Tuesday was to assess the damage of the explosion.  We spoke at length at approximately 18:40 of the Friday 25 January podcast.  

What Happened Next.  

A number of European and Israeli publications reported on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 that Reza Kahlili had reported a Fordo explosion.  The most significant of these reports was the Die Welt report on Saturday.  I am told that Die Welt is associated with intelligence, and it is fair to assume that the entry is a confirmation.  Then again, the London Times reported in its Monday 28 edition the same explosion.  This report mentioned the Israeli government as well as "Israeli intelligence."  I am told that the London Times is associated with significant intelligence sources.  How to interpret these reports?  The intelligence analysts have moved collaboratively in order to confirm Reza Kahlili's report.

Laser-guided tungsten spear from a armed satellite perhaps?

Carney’s and Obama’s believability is SUBZERO
just like their LIES about the video
that they used to have the Ambassador’s planned
murder and rape ignored. SSDD.

Amen Earnest. Amen.

They failed to kill any infidels.
No paradise reward for failure in Islam.

Maybe they will get 72 Virginians....

Let the record show that this story was poo-pooed when it was originally reported here. It seems even WND gets one right once in a while.

How soon people forget who broke the Monica Lewinski story, it wan’t the NYT, was it, hmmm?

[DManA]

How about someone willing to be quoted along with his name.

Interestingly enough, midweek there was news out of Israel that they were no longer doing planning for a preemptive attack on Iran if it became necessary. Coincidence, confirmation, or blame deflector?

If an enrichment facility do blow up... There would be signature signs of a radiation leak... At some point...

The US government would know by satellite if there was one...

It doesn’t surprise me the the WH is denying any knowledge of this event....

Of course that clown Carney still might be keep out of the loop for deniability purposes ...

“midweek there was news out of Israel that they were no longer doing planning for a preemptive attack on Iran if it became necessary.”

Planning completed and misson accomplished!

[morphing libertarian]

What does that leave the Iraniacs for nuclear capability

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

The spooks don't generally do that....they talk to favored journalists....

Of course Reza Kahlili is both a former Iranian and ex CIA spook,...

Anybody in Azerbaijan got a seismograph?

When that house here in Indy was blown up for insurance money using nat gas, the seismic data was easily detected in Bloomington, In.

I assume this deal was much bigger, and in the ground.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

And that is a good feeling!

According to what I heard from Batchlor on the Kudlow Report,....this was a very key...FAcility.---so it would seem to be a BIG Hurt.

They went to a lot of expense to put deep in a Mountain.

I’m not saying the accumulating evidence isn’t interesting, but that’s not confirmation.

At best the headline should have said “Evidence is mounting....”

[jsanders2001]

> The spooks don’t generally do that....they talk to favored journalists....
Of course Reza Kahlili is both a former Iranian and ex CIA spook,...

Which means they could be a double agent and their credibility cannot be trusted without other credible sources for confirmation.

[dalereed]

“I’m not saying the accumulating evidence isn’t interesting, but that’s not confirmation.”

I guess you will be confirmed dead when your carcus is totally consumed by worms!!!

Whoever (if it actually happened) needs to implement phase 2 ... Operation “Brain Drain” ... hit it again.
