The Revolutionary Guard said the accidental explosion occurred while military personnel were transporting munitions.

It doesn't appear to be foreign spec-ops based on this statement, but interesting nevertheless.

Seen tweets reporting multiple explosions and now apparently Israel Ch. 10 has reported the following -

RT @Bibireport: #Israel channel 10 reports: 2nd explosion in #Iran took place in a Shahab-4 Ballistic missile facility in #Isfahan ... details to follow

Iranians having a lot of miscues lately.

Yeah, isn't that the third or fourth "munitions dump accident" we've read about in the last month?

I am willing to be a lot of their munitions are leftovers from the Cold War. Even newly purchased from the Russians, it is likely old surplus.

Old munitions, well, get old.

Handle with extreme care.

Precisely how many munitions accidents can you have at missile bases and nuclear facilities within weeks of each other?

The odds must be astronomical.

Something tells me this isn't just a coincidence. Maybe Mossad at work?

Maybe, but it depends on what they are currently doing. If they have a flawed loading/handling procedure or a "bad lot" of something, it could well cause a cluster of problems. Many countries had similar episodes from time to time.

Skullduggery is certainly a possibility, but the fact remains that mucking about with large missiles (and/or munitions), is a really freaking dangerous line of work. And the untimely vaporization of witnesses can make problems hard to troubleshoot.

This is especially true if a program is in it's early days, involves new stuff, or is being rushed. I suspect all three things are happening.

Maybe, it is because the IRGs are just bad.

Bad things happen to bad people.

A top Iranian official has rejected media reports about an explosion being heard in the central city of Isfahan.

Mohammad-Mehdi Ismaili, Isfahan governor's political and security deputy, said on Monday that report was completely baseless and fabricated, IRNA reported.

We had Baghdad Bob, could this be Tehran Tim? Isfahan Ike?

Maybe, but I trust more PressTv than Haaretz.

It was in the Gulf News here before the IRG called foul. I say its real.

Besides, if you saw how Iranians loaded the boats they take from the ports to Iran full of tires, cars, food, refrigerators, etc., you would realize that logistics and material handling is probably not one of their stronger points.

hmm... years of handling, building, and dealing with this **** and they go full retard just months or weeks before it's viable... I have some ocean front property in Yuma for sale...

They are rushing to get something ready. It's causing the marginal safety procedures they already had in place to degrade.

As noted in a different thread: Iran may feel they are in a "use it or lose it" situation.

Yeah, possibly a case of readying old weapons for use before testing the various sub-systems to ensure they are still functional.

The Times reported on Wednesday that the mysterious explosion that rocked the city of Isfahan two days ago struck the uranium conversion facility located just outside Iran's third-largest city. According to the British newspaper, satellite images clearly show billowing smoke and destruction, despite Iran's claim that no such blast had taken place.


The Times quoted Israeli intelligence officials as saying there was "no doubt" that the blast struck the nuclear facilities at Isfahan and that it was "no accident."
