Something went BOOM!
If it wasn’t our boom, maybe they already have nukes and did a test boom.

They may be running out of time to get their testing completed.

Looking on maps there are a few odd structures out there on a switchback. But they do have a lot of quakes too. Since the report says 10km deep, If say earthquake.

I think they’re desperate.
Time to take that testing site out before the IRGC uses any nuke they have or have acquired———we’re dealing with psychos who have a death wish.
And drop a boomer down the well in Qom.
The sinister CCP is helping them.

Can you explain what you're saying here? What odd structures? Could be what?

A moderate quake like that in the least of their problems

According to THE GREAT AI...a MOAB (being an air blast) doesn’t register on the Richter scale. If the same energy was detonated in the earth...it might register a 1 or a 2.
A 4.9 would be about 1,000 to 10,000 times more energy than a MOAB.

It could have triggered an earthquake in an unstable area.

"...It could have triggered an earthquake in an unstable area..."

Isn't there a long record of seismic activity there?

Don’t rule out the Hidden Imam stirring.

Sort of like Cthulhu.

“The... CCP is helping them.”

Exactly, the Chinese too. We’re fighting their proxies today just like we did in Vietnam. Back then, our true adversary wasn’t just the local fighters; we were fighting the USSR.

Now, they’re trying to drag us into another “boots on the ground” conflict where civilians will be forced at gunpoint to act as shields. Before you know it, we’ll hit a modern My Lai incident, and the media will pronounce that all is lost.

We shouldn’t ignore these historical parallels. History teaches us nothing if we refuse to see how the past repeats itself.

AI is right. I set off a 500,000 TNT blast (air blast) at the Utah Test and Training Range and it registered as a 2.4 earthquake in Salt Lake City which is 80 miles away.
