Iran Explosion

[Black Orchid]

Reports of an explosion in east Tehran, with reports that it is from a military base and the suspected site of nuclear research. Apparently Iran first claimed it was explosive disposal, and then said it was a fuel tank.

The explosion is very close to the nuclear research facility east of Tehran that the UN/IAEA demanded to inspect earlier this month and Tehran flatly refused any inspections!



Meanwhile people are reporting a strange metallic like smell in the air which could be caused by hot particles of nuclear fuel.

At the same time the explosion was reported near Tehran Iraqi forces invade Iran backed militia.

I suspect you are right. I just bet there is something anti Trump on tonight. Ita might miss the opportunity though as she's too busy bitching, making false claims and chewing her cud.

At 78 I think the old buzzard is losing it.....dead but she wont lie down....
ABC has really gone to the pack since she took over....
And to think last year she was quoted as saying that political correctness has gone too far...
"Political correctness has gone too far in Australia, says ABC chair Ita Buttrose ABC chairwoman Ita Buttrose says the national media landscape is too "white" and needs to better reflect a multicultural Australia."
Pass the popcorn......

At first I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt and hoped she would clean up the ABC and bring them more to the centre but she didn't. She's made the ABC even worse with her army or comrade females talking psychobabble and getting away with it.

ScoMo had a great opportunity there and he failed just like Ita has.

It looks like Iran is in a spot of bother.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- A fire and an explosion struck a centrifuge production plant above Iran's underground Natanz nuclear enrichment facility early Thursday, analysts said, one of the most-tightly guarded sites in all of the Islamic Republic after earlier acts of sabotage there.

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran sought to downplay the fire, calling it an “incident” that only affected an under-construction “industrial shed,” spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi said. However, both Kamalvandi and Iranian nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi rushed after the fire to Natanz, a facility earlier targeted by the Stuxnet computer virus and built underground to withstand enemy airstrikes.

The fire threatened to rekindle wider tensions across the Middle East, similar to the escalation in January after a U.S. drone strike killed a top Iranian general in Baghdad and Tehran launched a retaliatory ballistic missile attack targeting American forces in Iraq.

While offering no cause for Thursday's blaze, Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency published a commentary addressing the possibility of sabotage by enemy nations such as Israel and the U.S. following other recent explosions in the country.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has so far has tried to prevent intensifying crises and the formation of unpredictable conditions and situations,” the commentary said. But ”the crossing of red lines of the Islamic Republic of Iran by hostile countries, especially the Zionist regime and the U.S., means that strategy ... should be revised.”

The fire began around 2 a.m. local time in the northwest corner of the Natanz compound in Iran's central Isfahan province, according to data collected by a U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration satellite that tracks fires from space.
