Allahwahoo Whackbar!
The United States of America was not involved in the catastrophic accident during final launch preparations for the Safir SLV Launch at Semnan Launch Site One in Iran. I wish Iran best wishes and good luck in determining what happened at Site One.

If they are not following NFPA 70E, somebody is in trouble.
Thanks Robert A Cook PE.
The image apparently came from a prev-gen spy satellite with an estimated resolution of 10 cm per pixel. The most recent NROL launch put a satellite with improved capabilities (ahem) into orbit, just within the past 12 months. Oh, and BTW, NeverTrumpers and other Democrats and Democrats-in-all-but-name suck ****.
A Tweet has shown us the capabilities or the current generation of US spy satellites. By analyzing the images shared the location of the satellite was determined and traced to USA-224 AKA NROL-49 - an image intelligence satellite that is derived from a design in the 1970's and also shares some design charactersitics with the Hubble Space Telescope.
