Another deadly explosion was heard in western Tehran on Friday, according to local reports of a blast at a missile warehouse.

However, sources claim there have been more than one in multiple regions. An intelligence official told The New York Times said that Israel was possibly behind the attack.

Initial reports say the confirmed blast hit a missile warehouse belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Authorities have not yet provided any information on the cause of the blasts.

Journalist Hasan Sari claims there was more than one explosion, with others hitting the regions of Garmdareh and Quds.

Social media users have confirmed at least one of these, with one writing: “Another explosion in Iran, this time in west Tehran, causing power outage”.

"Israeli F-35s continue to prowl the skies of Iran, undetected."

Computer models only go so far, things need to be tested in real life - thank God our Israeli allies are proving out the computer models for the F-35 (and other weapons systems).

“The word on the street is that the bombs were set by the Persepolis Guard”

Psyops. Or just rumor.

The Iranians don’t know what, or who, is hitting them.

I have no doubt they are freaking out.

I believe this is inside infiltration, not a series of external attacks.

This blast is particularly heart warming because it is in the midst of a population center and appears to have inflicted no collateral damage.

Iran has placed its most sensitive facilities in the midst of population centers precisely to mitigate external attacks.

Missiles blowing up? Isn’t that what they’re supposed to do? I’m sure it’s all a silly coincidence. And if a nuclear bomb factory happens to blow up too, that would be just awful. I hope the sprinkler systems have passed their annual check...

Also remember, we put the X-37 back in orbit back in May

There is an anti-mullah faction in Iran. Could be some coordination.

I am told that Iran has the most extensive ground based radar system in the world.

Extensive or Effective? Big difference.

Keeping an F-117 flying and stealthy is a monumental and incredibly expensive task.

I'd almost agree, but they're not flying all 64 planes built--maybe at most 3-4 planes, primarily for providing "targets" for radar systems research on behest of the DoD and defense contractors who build radar systems like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. Because of the very small number still flying, the planes could have been subject of "black project" upgrades increasing its stealthiness and may be still operational on highly-classified combat missions.

Israel is only getting started. Israelis and Anti-Mullah Iranian Freedom Fighters are going to stop Iran in its tracks. This is a new sort of war and one that will rip the guts out of Iran and lead to a new, and hopefully, better Government. This might be the template to CW II in the USA.
