An explosion was reported in an oil pipeline in Iran Saturday, the latest in a mysterious series of blasts and blazes that have occurred throughout the country.

Several of the recent disasters have struck sensitive Iranian sites, leading to speculation that they could be part of a sabotage campaign engineered by Israel or another Tehran foe.

The latest incident occurred in a pipeline in the Ahvaz region in the south of the country, according to reports in local and social media.

Video shared on social media showed a large fire at the scene. There were no reports of casualties in the incident, and it was not immediately clear what the cause was.

Or ‘dissidents’?
Or foreign entities?

I’m about to post another article about Iran threatening their citizens regarding revolt. That country is close to the brink.

Looks like it’s just one coincidence after another.

Would be ironic but possible if it was winnie the poo covertly adding motivation for them to sign on to the giant give away they just agreed to. But i doubt it.

I bet its the Saudi’s getting revenge for the missile attack on their refinery a year ago. Probably with the help of Israel.

Netanyahu knows that his long tenure is soon to end. Netanyahu’s life has been defined by the Holocaust. He views Israel as the deliverance of the Jewish people and a guarantor of their safety and existence. He would consider his political career a failure if the mullah’s very real existential threat to Israel and the Jewish people remains intact after he leaves office.

Netanyahu is haunted by the Holocaust. It is a painful exercise but Israeli scholars must analyze not only what was done but how in retrospect it might have been prevented. In 1925 when Hitler and his Nazi thugs were emerging as a significant, virulently anti-Semetic political force, the German Jewish community had considerable wealth and power. In that era political violence and even assasinations were common. Imagine how history and indeed all of Western culture would have been different if the German Jews eliminated Hitler and his thugs. Not only would have the Holocaust been prevented but the devastation and cultural ruination of WW II and the Cold War may have been prevented.

Netanyahu is a student odf history and is tormented by the Holocaust. IMHO he does not want to be like the German Jewish leadership in the 1920s who failed to act definitively when they could have. Netanyahu, like other heroes throughout history will probably not fully complete his task. However he will lay a path and be an inspiration to the Jewish people for a very long time.

In light of this article...Iran's message to its people: If you revolt, you die...can it be rightly assumed
that it's the Iranian people themselves who are responsible for these "disasters"?
They would know better than anyone else what and where to strike.
This has stepped up from "mass riots". Why issue such a statement if it wasn't Iranians fed up with how their country is run and the authorities know it is homegrown destruction?

I like post 13, Israel knows Iran under the ayatollahs is the main threat to its existence and its present government must act to eliminate that government. Do it now before Iran has the means to wipe Israel off the map.
