Blast at Iranian missile site kills 18 Rev Guards
Blast at Iranian missile site kills 18 Rev Guards
Rick Moran This is a story that gets curiouser and curiouser the more you look at it... Originally reported by the unreliable DEBKA website , we can now confirm some of the details of this story via the Iranian's own news agency: Eighteen people were killed in a fire at an ammunitions store in a Revolutionary Guards base in Iran, the Fars news agency quoted a commander of the elite force as saying Wednesday in the latest toll.I find it significant if not a little strange that western media has been ignoring this story. Not even the wire services have picked it up. Of course, the original story came from an unreliable source. But when Iran's own news agency runs with it, you would think a fire and explosion at one of Iran's key military bases might generate a few lines of copy at AP, AFP, or Reuters. Spook 86 on the Imam Ali Base: Reports of underground explosions at Khorramabad immediately caught our attention. It was one of the first facilities built to support the Shahab-3, the first Iranian ballistic system capable of striking targets in Israel. Intelligence analysts believe at least 15 Shahab-3s are stationed at the Iman Ali Base, along with an unknown number of mobile launchers. Much of missile maintenance and storage activity at the installation is conducted underground, making it difficult for western intelligence to determine how many missiles are in garrison at any given time, and the overall operational posture of the Shahab-3 unit.Speculation like this is fine, as long as you are prone to disbelieve the official story. Indeed, as Spook 86 points out, the possibility is remote that a fire would spread to such a large area of an underground complex. AT contributor Wesley Clark has a different take: It's tantalizing to speculate that the Stuxnet worm that affects Siemens process controllers was somehow activated by the "mysterious hand" to accomplish this delightful occurrence, and that more such events may be planned for the future.Degrading the enemy's retaliatory capability as this possible intelligence operation has done might indicate that Israel is approaching zero hour in making a decision whether or not to bomb Iran. Certainly, we are talking about a matter of months now - perhaps even weeks - where the window of opportunity for the IDF to strike will be open. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/...sile_site.html
